Actually, this is not really a specification of the problem, which is
quite tricky. The list of characters is but one part of it. Another part
is where escaping should be allowed. Note that allowing to escape
everywhere would be terrible, if only performance-wise. The last part is
about handling it at the parser level (there's also the fontification,
which doesn't use the parser ATM).

That's all we have at the moment.
