As a point of order;

\* more than 3\/4's of people may not feel that way, particularly those discussing snake\_case Vs CamelCase



That’s PascalCase, camelCase does not capitalize the first word.

FWIW I use the same nomenclature as you, but that doesn't make it universal.


New rule needs ~ when * or _ is used inside words, so your example wouldn't need escaping. E.g.,

dis~/cuss/~ing


with a similar caveat for 'obvious' fractions and divisions?


You mean ¾?


Only if you can do that for, say, 937\/997.


937⁄997

You need U+2044 FRACTION SLASH.


I honestly had no idea you could do that in Unicode with arbitrary values. Thank you.
