I'm leaving any [@@...@@] markup for recipes to handle,
rather than adding it to the core.

Somehow I think I'd prefer to see this done using classes -- i.e., something 
like <pre class='code'>...</pre> instead of <pre><code>...</code></pre>.

Note that it's also possible to use wikistyles on [@...@] blocks:

    %block bgcolor=yellow% [@
    This is preformatted
    text.
    @]

or

    [@
    This is preformatted
    text.
    @] %block bgcolor=yellow%

and even

    %block frame% [@
    This is preformatted
    text.
    @]
