That's too tech-savy. The aim of wikisyntax is to be easy to understand - we can't ask people to put a \ before ' or surround it by <nowiki></nowiki>. I don't mind a slightly more complex syntax for tables, templates & such, "advanced" behaviour. But for your daily usage (and ' is used often at least in french), something quite simple to use is imo waaaaaaay better.
Yes, I agree on the "simple" solution. However, the current situation isn't "simple" for things like l'''italic'' because it is unclear what exactly that should mean. Maybe it means
l<i>'italic</i>
or it means
l'<i>italic</i>
How is the computer (and the human writing it) to know which is which? You need at least one more bit information to distinguish between these two variants.
Best wishes,
Tels
