Comment (by dd32):

 I'm not too thrilled about the idea of disabling texturize, but I'm also
 not thrilled at broken code samples.

 > that folks don't come for the pretty typography inside forum replies
 I agree with this, but I don't think we should reduce typographical
 details unless it's the only option. WordPress was built on the idea of
 typography and keeping with that as a base expectation feels like a
 worthwhile use of our time.


 I think an alternative here would be to auto-wrap code similar to how
 pastes are auto-wrapped  #2107 (That's currently for pastes >= 1000 chars
 or >= 10 lines)

 Perhaps #2107 could be updated to also wrap pastes of code-like text? Or
 it could be done on save to wrap any code-like text that's not already
 wrapped?

 Code also gets typed, and not pasted, although I question just how much
 that is really an issue, if someone is comfortable typing HTML/CSS/JS/PHP
 they're probably going to be aware to code-wrap it.
