If I had to answer yes/no (or please y/n in Terminal browsers) if I want
to see code blocks every time, that'd quickly get annoying. I'd rather
just hide them all, Alt-text or not, and expand them with a key press
when I reach one I want to read. This key press would expand the
currently focused block, not all of them, of course.
