look at the alternate syntax where they under line with different symbols.

It is, but it's just brainstorming along the lines of needing an
inline task syntax.

We have a solid heading syntax, with one or more asterisks followed by
keywords and heading metadata. Given we're talking about adding more
flags in the metadata, I'm just asking if we should consider
alternatives to just asterisks to help indicate differences.

An inline task exempt from folding should be eye catching to
differentiate it from other headings. Perhaps something other than
asterisks is appropriate?
