If I launch emacs -q, create an org-mode file and enter a comment as
# Blah blah [[bib:blah]] blah blah.
then the brackets close up such that only one pair is visible. If I
want both pairs visible then I have to write [ [bib:blah] ]. If I use
#+begin_comment then the bracket content is also highlighted, as if it
were active. Both pairs of brackets disappear if `bib:blah' is not present.
This seems to me to be contrary to what a Comment should be - namely a
piece of wholly dumb text. Could this not be achieved?
Best wishes,
Colin Baxter

There is a way to have [[bib:blah]] but I doubt you will like it:
insert a zero width space between the two opening brackets (see, e.g.,
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2018-06/msg00426.html).
More generally, there does not seem to be a way to write totally
verbatim text (I hope someone can prove me wrong).

Thank you, I had forgotten about the zero-width space; although, true, I
don't much care for it.

That's a pity.

This is simply a fontification issue. Patches are welcome.
