Well. I think that it is impossible to use the same escape construct to
both force emphasis and escape it.

However, we can do

 *scratch\--{}*

which is a bit hacky, but it is the best thing I can think of without
introducing two separate entities: one for forcing the markup and one
for escaping the markup.

In general, the proposed \-- entity is only meaningful _before_ markup
characters. When it is placed after markup character, it does literally
nothing.

Best,
Ihor
