Thanks!

I do not think that a single exception - source blocks is good enough.
When having something like
  ANSI opening term is =<ANSI>=, and closing term is =<ANSI>=
it will be not expected to get things fontified.

A better approach will be:
1. Do not allow ANSI sequences to intersect markup boundaries of the
   same AST depth:
   *bold <ANSI>* plain text <ANSI> should not trigger fontification
   *bold <ANSI> /italic/ <ANSI>* should trigger
   plain text <ANSI> *bold* plain text <ANSI> also should
2. Disallow fontification is certain contexts - 'inline-src-block

Further, your current code will do something weird when encountering
greater element:

:DRAWER:
Paragraph <ANSI>

Another paragraph <ANSI>
:END:

You should not consider greater elements when fontifying.

This is fragile and relies on internal implementation details of
ansi-color.el. Is there another way?
