Dear Santa,
My name is Ofnuts and I think I have been a good and well-behaved user and moderator during the past year (even if my PEP-8 grades aren't that good).
I know you have been very busy lately trying to fix your damaged sled, but once you are done, I would like something nice for Christmas that you can perhaps do with the help of Smop the coder elf, Pebkac the tester elf, and I18N the translating robot, if they aren't themselves busy working on the kid behavior monitoring firmware in the new Barbies and G.I.Joe's.
You see, at the top of the posting widget there are four symbols, 'B', 'I', 'U', and 'S'. I would like a fifth symbol, a '#' that says "Code" when your mouse is over it, and clicking it while some text is selected would set that text in some fixed-pitch font, in a slightly different color, or perhaps even on a slightly different background as done in markdown when you have
Then I would be able to distinguish between plain HTTP requests and the requests module, and spend a while talking about the while statement, and in general include inline code elements in my text. Perhaps the others could benefit from this as well.
Hoping I'm not asking for the moon,
Yours faithfully,
Ofnuts
PS: No, plain Courier New isn't usable, it is ugly (and too small anyway).

Unless noted otherwise, code in my posts should be understood as "coding suggestions", and its use may require more neurones than the two necessary for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.
