The font-lock solution has other benefits; it could implement a different scheme (or delegate the escaping step to substitute-command-keys, which seems a fine idea now, actually). But it currently uses the syntax that's been requested: "\\~".
I thought that font-lock couldn't use the same escape syntax that substitute-command-keys does, and that this was why you suggested \~ rather than \= -- i.e., so that one could use \= to escape characters that substitute-command-keys would otherwise interpret, and use \~ to escape characters that font-lock would otherwise interpret.
It would be better to use the one escape syntax, as it's one less thing to explain to Emacs users. But how would it work? I don't see how.
