I don't know, I guess I would welcome such change!

I see.  It was only a proposal.  Another possibility could be XML's
<code> ... </code>.  Or maybe the whole idea of short and long syntax is
bad.  But I'm afraid that if we want "lightweight markup", we might get
"impossible to mark up certain strings" (like Emacs keystrokes, which
are sometimes rather weird, like =C-x ,= - which is unbound by default,
but possible to use).
