Personally I think it’s okay. `%` for example is a good candidate since
you seldom use that as a leading character in prose (after a
whitespace), and it seems that `%` is often recommended as an
alternative.

But if it doesn’t make the code more complex: why not? (I just
personally don’t have a use-case.)
