URLs are definitely a better example, but as Mr Cable notes, there are *lots* of programming wikis;
Any wiki that display code should properly quote it. Have a look at any source code example in wikipedia. It is a good practice.
overloading /RE/ is about as bad as overloading /U/R/L.
Not really. /U/R/L has a meaning in wiki markup, /RE/ doesn't. It is just plain text. So you can't say they compare that much.
Besides, "overloading /RE/" is not correct, because /RE/ is not processed by wiki markup (as stated, /RE/ is just plain text). On the other hand, "Overloading /U/R/L" is more correct.
