I don't understand what you mean by the above.

This is what Org-mode does when possible, and this is why some language
modes are both much simpler and much more reliable than others, e.g.,
because of Emacs' excellent support for common lisp ob-lisp.el is both
shorter and provides higher quality support than ob-python.el.

$ wc -l lisp/ob-{lisp,python}.el
  111 lisp/ob-lisp.el
  346 lisp/ob-python.el

If I've miss-understood the above please clarify.

Thanks,
Eric
