Why not define thing-at-point?

;;; Thing at point 'thing-within-$code$

(defun rcd-tap-thing-within-$code$-start ()
    "Move point to the beginning of thing within `$code$'."
    (re-search-backward "\\$code\\$")
    (forward-char 7))

(defun rcd-tap-thing-within-$code$-end ()
    "Move point to the end of thing within `$code$."
  (re-search-forward "\\$code\\$")
  (backward-char 7))

(put 'thing-within-$code$ 'beginning-op 'rcd-tap-thing-within-$code$-start)
(put 'thing-within-$code$ 'end-op 'rcd-tap-thing-within-$code$-end)

$code$
print 1 + 2;
$code$

try: 
(thing-at-point 'thing-within-$code$) within $code$ and
