But then you have to look for a leading > or whatever, instead of a 
leading #.  I don't see the big advantage.  I suggest that what you want
would be best achieved by controlling the folding of a folding editor.
Such a tool could easily cope with +begin and =end delimiters.  Otherwise
use the syntax highlighting mode of your editor if it has it.  Getting
the coloured text out to paper is another matter, of course.
