Plain text allows user to define its own environment. I'm not against
forcing ~...~ on keybindings when no specific syntax is required.

This is (almost) already the case.

For those back-ends, I think, e.g., ~M-<RET>~ is a good default. It is
very close to what Texinfo can produce. The "fbox" thing seems a bit
heavy.
WDYT?
