Description
Allow adding a language to code blocks, same way Github does it
how it is now
```c++
int main(){}
```
simply becomes:
int main(){}
how it should be
```c++
int main(){}
````
should render to
int main(){}
Discord does this too and it's really nice.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests.

Done means fenced blocks accept a language such as c++ and render with syntax highlighting without changing unlabeled blocks.
