Implementing the equivalent of LaTeX \lstinline

Hello!
We are working on translating a big LateX specification https://www.khronos.org/registry/SYCL/specs/sycl-2020-provisional.pdf to AsciiDoctor and the results is now quite good in HTML and PDF except for a missing feature we use a lot: \lstinline to insert source code with highlighting.

\lstinline (described on page 4 of http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/listings/listings.pdf) provides 2 different syntax:
- \lstinline{some code}
- and when the code has some {} in it: \lstinline|some code|, where "|" is actually any character not appearing in "some code".

What is the simplest way to have this feature?

Generalizing [source] to allow a non-block interface, such as:
  some text [source]{some code} and [source]|some code| some text
?
Not clear to me how to do this by looking at asciidoctor/lib/asciidoctor/parser.rb where the parser assume this is in a block...

This problem has been already mentioned in https://discuss.asciidoctor.org/Passing-options-to-configuring-source-highlighters-tp8047.html

Thank you.

The issue you are looking for is this one:

https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/1043

It discusses the current state of the requirements and design and offers
proposals for how to implement it in the meantime.

Ah yes, this is exactly what I am looking for!
The problem is how to make progress on it as it looks stuck for 3+ years now...
Thanks.
