Agreed! Unfortunately, the implementors will suffer. A direct
implementation of the \verb trick is a one line change (see the
attachment), whereas your suggestion is much harder to implement without
major surgery to the current lilypond-book implementation.

I won't submit the patch to CVS until I get some approval (of course,
the documentation should be updated as well).

On second thought, I'm not convinced that it helps the users to
add special cases to the simple general rule of delimiters.
