This is what we already do. Inlinetasks have two forms:

*********************** Single-line inlinetask

or

*********************** Multi-line inlinetask
With some contents inside
*********************** END

There are 3 problems with this, however:

1. Because inlinetasks are currently optional, a number of people rely
   on ******************* being __always__ a heading. So, we are unable
   to integrate inlinetasks into Org syntax properly.

2. The syntax clash is hard to maintain in the code, leading to subtle
   bugs that are hard to notice and fix.

3. We require no less than 15 stars to define inlinetask, which looks
   ugly.
