This addition to the font-lock regexps is quite simple, and doesn't
contain anything fancy/expensive (like backtracking), so I don't expect
there to be any performance concerns --- but it would be good to hear

I considered limiting this to no-newlines, but
https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html says anything other than @@
is allowed.
