I have to add to this that the AsciiDoc User Guide does use the
code-filter and
therefor without these improvements added, will fail to convert to ODF.
For that reason I would recommend adding ODF support to upstream's
code-filter.
Adding additional languages doesn't add anything in terms of illustrating how
to write a filter and would just encourage people to use it in production. If
someone has a burning desire to use and extend it then they should fork it
and publish it as a filter plugin.
But the result is that the AsciiDoc User Guide cannot be converted
without failure to anything other than what code-filter supports.
I'll add that to the asciidoc-odf README.
