Re: md->asciidoc inline code has plus signs

Interesting, this seems to work differently in asciidoc and
asciidoctor (in asciidoctor you get the expected output).

Here's the commit that added this:

    Asciidoc writer: use `` `+...+` `` form for inline code.
    
    The old `` `a__b__c` `` yields emphasis inside code in asciidoc.
    To get a pure literal code span, use `` `+a__b__c+` ``.

Looks like this behavior is asciidoctor-specific.
Could you put an issue on our tracker so we won't forget
to fix this?  It should be easy enough to make the `+`s
conditional on the asciidoctor extension.

PS.  I get annoyed when I see online forums talking about how
asciidoc is superior to markdown because there aren't
N+1 versions!
