 Gutenberg currently explores adding adding a new block for embedding gists
 from GitHub (gist.github.com). See:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/1567.

 Although Gist supports oEmbed, it only returns raw HTML with code
 excerpts. There's a superior JS method for embeds, which is also shown
 when viewing a Gist in the browser. Jetpack supports this method as well.

 If Gutenberg wants to add a new block for gists, it should definitely be
 supported natively by core.

 See attached patch as a PoC
