Let's leave the backtick as a metasyntactic symbol.
I am not so sure the markdown argument stands, because it is only an issue in `inline code blocks` really. Blocks fenced with ``` or 4-space indents can contain backticks just fine, and can typically do in bash scripts. In inline blocks, you can always escape them with \` which sure isn't as nice, but I find it rare to have much more than alpha-numeric identifiers in inline blocks.
