Nice example because there is a symmetric pair there.  I have always thought
that this was a very ambiguous notation.  I can see */foo/bar* meaning that
foo is in bold italic and bar is just bold with the two words run together.

For this reason (pesky slashes in path names, + as bullet characters,
underscores in names) I've abandoned this notation.  The @<> is more
verbose, but unambiguous.
