This is a pretty good patch, but I think we should still modify it.
Org users traditionally use =stuff= to mark code pieces, and I think
it is still important to escape special characters like ^ and ~ and  
others.

The modified patch below does the following:

- Like your patch, it makes Org use \\verb for the ~...~ emphasis.
- For =...= emphasis, it uses a new keyword \\protectedtexttt.
   This will protect special characters and then do texttt.  And I
   have extended the protection to include multiple hyphens by  
converting
   "--" to "-{}-".

Do you agree with this solution?

- Carsten
