Except for when you want to say things like:

    This "frobnicates" the turbo encabulator.

IOW, where the thing in quotes are just regular words.  I'm positive we
have such cases, but I can't remember where.

Yes, it must be slimmed down to its absolute bare essentials.  IOW, we
should consider only those parts that we see a need for.

BTW, Markdown has a nice way to mark monospace blocks, if we want to
avoid relying on heuristics or simply provide a fire-escape if it fails:

```
like this
```

Although it is far less powerful than what Org-mode does, it is also
much simpler and less noisy.
