The killer problem with backticks (to pick the syntax that currently 
causes this problem the most) is with webpages and with printed 
books with code. Sure, everyone can pick a font for coding that 
they can read, but that's not the only way you read code. This is 
my issue with the foo.(bar) syntax. The period is far far too small 
and easy to miss.
