(Gently wandering off-topic, but: do people use proportional fonts for coding? Doesn't it cause general awkwardness for indentation, especially relevant for python?)
The killer problem with backticks (to pick the syntax that currently causes this problem the most) is with webpages and with printed books with code. Sure, everyone can pick a font for coding that they can read, but that's not the only way you read code. This is my issue with the foo.(bar) syntax. The period is far far too small and easy to miss.
