I believe it can be very handy having the ability to do a single word "code" formatting, as it can be done in StackOverflow or Slack and many other services. 

This is accomplished by using the scaping character `

With this, any user would be able to format a word in the middle of a sentence without having to use the code block formatting.

This bellow is very handy when using blocks.

int y = 100;
var x = 8;
x = x+y; 

But sometimes we just want to do something like `System.Diagnostic.Debug.WriteLine;` and have the code formatted and within the same sentence.

The above text this is how it'd look in StackOverflow

And here how it'd look in Slack
