At least in the perl parser, I think so as it is already that way for
@math.

If it is discouraged to use @-commands, then @verbatim is a good choice.

It already doesn't work for @math but we nevertheless encourage it.
The long term solution is probably to convert to TeX/LaTeX inside
of @math.  It seems a bit strange to me to treat @math and @displaymath
differently in that regard.
