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.
