Many synthetic grammars have 'special characters' Talking about special characters of the grammar using the grammar has to involve some form of escape mechanism.
You need to minimize the occurence of talking about the special characters so they can do their work. If I were to write a book about markdown, however, I don't think I'd want to write it in markdown. To many confusions between the "this * is a literal asterisk and *this* star is emphasized. Except in that case the 'this' is emphasized. How _would_ you emphasize a single asterisk? <emphasis>*</emphasis> of course.
