Is that limitation a feature, or a design bug?

You may guess that this item appeared in FAQ after numerous discussions on this mailing list. Search its archive for details.

The most close feature is inline tasks, there are other structures like #+begin_something/#+end_something blocks and :drawer:...:end: that have closing marker.

Some Org syntax limitations are imposed to be able efficiently determine current context using regexp searches. So "** Heading" lines must be escaped in comments, nested identical #+begin_block structures are not allowed. Another point is treating Org files with syntax errors.
