That's one option.
Another observation is that Org parser does not even allow inline src
blocks inside table cells. So, it might make more sense to remove all
the inline src blocks before creating the table cell.
Although, unlike inline src blocks, verbatim/code markup is allowed.
And something like =this|is|verbatim= is problematic - similar to inline
src blocks, altering the "|" inside may change the meaning.
To be clear, it is quite easy to write some kind of
`org-table-cell-escape' that will make sure that text inserted into a
table cell will not cause problems with table formatting. However, I'd
prefer to solve this problem in a more generic way, alongside with
similar problem of escaping "=" inside verbatim markup, edge cases with
link paths like
=should not be verbatim [[https:/example.com/?foo=?]], yet it is
and other edge cases.
