[BUG] Emacs Org rendering glitch of '*' in '=' inline markup

[Johan Bolmsjö]

Org mode renders the following line in bold between the asterisks in the Emacs
window. It seems to be the last dot after the first asterisk that triggers the
assumed rendering bug.

┌────
│ =org-*.css= and =org-*.css.el=
└────

On the other hand, the same line exports properly with both the ASCII and HTML
exporters.

┌────
│ `org-*.css' and `org-*.css.el'
└────
Listing 1: Exported ASCII (UTF-8)

┌────
│ <code>org-*.css</code> and <code>org-*.css.el</code>
└────
Listing 2: Exported HTML

Confirmed.

This is a known problem resulting from Org fontification limitations.
See https://orgmode.org/list/87ee7c9quk.fsf@localhost for WIP fix.
