A very strong +1 on this. Org has enough /escape mechanisms/, as you
call them, to cater for special cases, and these include @@...@@, babel,
and filters, amongst others. The simplicity of org

An important note: for intra-word markup you probably want to
use word joiner U+2060 and not zero width space, because a
zero width space allows layout to break the word, whereas a
word joiner does not. We may need to check to make sure that
U+2060 counts as whitespace for the purposes of markup.

Hi all,
It is usually recommended, as you know, to insert a zero width space
character (Unicode U+200B) as a sort of delimiter mark to solve the
scenarios of emphasis within a word (for example, =/meta/literature=)
and others contexts where emphasis marks are not recognized (for example
