Though not visually appealing, are there any (technical) thoughts on backticks (which are currently used for <code>)?

"Hello, code!"

Using backticks (in any number) is likely to conflict with code spans. You can start a code span with any number of consecutive backticks (and stop it with the same number). The above example is seen by current Markdown parsers as a paragraph containing a code span. Do we want to change the behaviour when backticks are alone on their line? I'm not sure it'd be wise.


What about colons?

::::::::
"Hello, code!"

I still prefer tildes `~~~~` as they're closer in appearance to hyphens `----` I've seen used in email, [ddoc][1] embedded code, and some other places. Technically, colons would be as good, but I prefer the aesthetics of a tilde line.
