org-element-at-point and special blocks

[Rasmus <rasmus@gmx.us>]

Hi,

Is there a reason why org-element-at-point reports the type to be a
paragraph for special blocks?  E.g. in the examples at the bottom of this
mail, where | is the cursor, the types are: export-block, src-block and
paragraph with a nested special block.

Is there a neat way to detect if point is inside a block?  I’m trying to
write a function for structures (e.g. #+begin_latex) that works like
org-babel-demarcate-block.

Thanks,
Rasmus
