The aim of limited PRE and POST is allowing dwim literal "*" in ordinary
text where users do not really intend to use emphasis.

The current approach is probably not ideal, but making changes to regexp
raises the risk of breaking existing Org documents that worked in the
past but may not because emphasis will be incorrectly recognized after
changing the syntax.

Any changes in this area should be done with caution.
