Could it be [EX] for "Example"?  I can't imagine what [EG] could mean.  
I'm sure that it comes from 'e.g.' in English, but I don't know where 
'e.g.' comes from either.

I like the idea, but I see a practical difficulty with it.  Most code 
snipets apprear as replies to previous posts.  I guess that we could 
alter the title when we respond though.
