Thank you!
I imagine there are aliases defined for `pandoc
--list-highlight-languages`? Since specifying `py` seemed to work just as
well as `python`, if I'm remembering correctly. If so, where should I edit
in the sources ti add more aliases? (And send those edits as PRs)(Like,
`el` could be an alias for `commonlisp` ...)
