Comment (by Otto42):

 Post types are created in plugins. If you need to include a special embed
 format for a post type, then that format should really be in the same
 plugin that contains the post type. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense
 to include post-type support for them in the theme, because the theme
 doesn't necessarily need to know about the post types. Post types and
 themes don't really mix well.

 I'm not saying that post types can't get special embed handlers, but
 separation of concerns means that it makes more sense to include said
 embed handler in the plugin where the post type is created in the first
 place.

 For example, for your code snippet post type, the plugin that adds this
 could hook in and include the embed-code in that plugin, and then the
 theme would remain independent of it and available for use elsewhere.
