As a lowly user, I have often wished for a hypothetical function called org-escapify-region. (And of course the reverse function.)
I've never even looked for one, though, because it is my understanding that org does not have general-case escaping, and without that, no such function could be complete (and stay complete).
I understand that it won't be easy, since every character I can see on my keyboard already has a purpose (or three).
To review: my requested new function is conceptually simple. If the implementation can't be simple due to the lack of general-case escaping, then maybe this is an argument in favor of a deep change to org, but, that's a conversation I don't know how to participate in. So good luck and thanks for your consideration, and thanks for such a useful piece of software. :)
Cheers,
--Dave
