I think the simplest solution, for implementation but more importantly also for
description to the user, is to escape a single character. For instance {{{~**abc}}}
would escape the first star, leaving {{{*abc}}} which has no Creole markup; so the
result is {{{**abc}}}. Alternative notation would be {{{~*~*abc}}} or {{{*~*abc}}}.
The problem with escaping an unlimited number of identical characters is that there
are cases where you want to recognize markup; e.g. the following path in
italic: {{{///home/user~///}}}. Escaping whole Creole markup sequences isn't the way
to go, imo, because the set of markup sequence depends on the engine and on
Creole version; and when you want to escape something, it's usually to control
exactly which characters to produce in the output, not to have whole Creole
sequences.
In [[Nyctergatis]], if you choose Creole output, all "*", "#", "=", "{", etc. are escaped,
even when unnecessary. There are still some characters from more exotic markup
which should be escaped but aren't, but this hints that this escaping rule is
very simple to apply.
In inline nowiki, there is already the following sequence for the single right brace
(it seems to be impossible to write it with the current engine used by wikicreole,
so I've replaced braces with parenthesis): {{{))))(((}}}.
Not very pretty, but if we add something else, we'll need to escape more
characters; I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
