What would ``` add that you can't already do with two indents?
Beyond that, I think support for ```sh type highlighting would be awful, one of the best things about HN is how clean it is, I'd hate to see syntax highlighting or pictures or whatever when scrolling.

It would let me add those fences before and after the code I’m pasting instead of having to go and add spaces in front of every pasted line. On mobile adding the spaces after pasting is a bit fiddly. Then again, maybe it is a feature because it discourages pasting too many lines of code in many cases.
