Fenced code in bullet lists with GitHub-flavoured MarkDown??

Fenced code blocks inside ordered and unordered lists

  1. This is a numbered list.

  2. I'm going to include a fenced code block as part of this bullet:

A subtle difference between Ruby's Hash.fetch(:key, :default) vs. (Hash[:key] || :default)
h = {
'a' => :a_value,
'b' => nil,
'c' => false
}
h.fetch('a', :default_value) #=> :a_value
h.fetch('b', :default_value) #=> nil
h.fetch('c', :default_value) #=> false
h.fetch('d', :default_value) #=> :default_value
