What sorts of things are easier?  Are these the types of things
mentioned on http://yihui.name/knitr/

I don't like the #+ syntax in org mode, my eyes still haven't adapted to
it.  But I don't think its likely to change.  Making an electric + key
should be straightforward, here's a simple version:


(defun electric-plus ()
  (interactive)
  (insert (if (= (current-column) 0) "#+" "+")))
