Not only that, probability of false positives matters
too. E.g. inserting text snippets in PicoLisp Wiki Syntax into an Org
file could easily cause errors given the frequent use of {}:

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------
| 1{Contrived Example}
| 
| In /{picolisp-wiki-mode} braces are !{very} important, and in PicoLisp
| itself Database objects are identified like this: 
| 
| :{{36}}
| 
| denotes Object 36.
| 
| Here is a list of objects in the DB:
| 
| 
| *{
|    -{{11}}
|    -{{36}}
|    -{{45}}
| }
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This might be contrived, but is actually not that exotic.
