I agree it's painful/error-prone/time-wasting to escape all possible
AsciiDoc markups in inline code. But wouldn't a change of the backtick's
semantic break compatibility with existing documents? On the other hand,
we could make the behavior version-dependent: if the document does not
provide an explicit version number, we use the legacy behavior. If the
document specifies v1.0 or above, disable the parsing of markups between
backticks.

From the implementor's perspective, I'm afraid that would add again to
the parser's complexity. If we want to support inline literal elements,
introducing a new markup (triple-backtick?) seems to be wiser.
