Why?  Where can I find this discussion?

If the main reasons for supporting inline markup like @NAME{CONTENT}
(or similar) are the current fontification shortcomings, I'm skeptic.

The .org falls in the category of lightweight markup formats and I
believe it should stick close to this definition.

That is, natively support *bold*, /emphasis/, etc. without adding
heavy more constructs like @NAME{CONTENT} -- even optionnally.

If we need to support @defn{FUNCTION} for .texi export, what about
considering ~~FUNCTION~~ ?  Using two chars at the beg and end is a
natural extension of the current markup syntax and should spare us
some ambiguity that we have with one-char constructs.

Thanks for pointing at these discussions.
