While that's a nice goal, I'm not sure the alternatives to C-q + MAGIC
are any better...

It seems to me that the having a single magic character would be
reasonable, it's having 27 different magic characters that starts to get
annoying.

So how about "#" as the single magic char, and have "##" to insert a #
character?

Then than # followed by other characers can be used for lots of cool
