It seems, lightweight markup is more annoyance than advantage for you. 
Tom posted some thoughts on more rigorous syntax in the following message:

For C and C++ it is possible to tune some aspects of compiler behavior using

     #pragma something

directives. In some cases it might be convenient to e.g. temporary 
disable emphasis markers (or switch to more verbose alternative) through

     #+some: keyword

I have seen warnings concerning complications due to variants of 
character representation, but I have no experience such nuances (either 
typing and editing or processing text programmatically). Dagger and 
non-breaking space in your code snippet were much more simpler cases.
