Thanks for the insight, Janne.
Since braces are very common in C, C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP and other languages, we should expect code fragments
such as {{{while (!done) { doWork(); } }}} or {{{class Foo { int i; } }}}. Spaces can indeed be used for disambiguation, but
(i) one of the reasons mentionned by proponents of the escape character in nowiki was to avoid this use of
the space, and (ii) this introduces a superfluous space in the character stream, such as before the dot in the
previous sentence. I think another case where the problem occurs is a trailing tilde, e.g. when explaining that in most
unix shells, the home directory is represented by {{{~ }}}.
