Yes, I think it is.

I'd go for this solution.  We have to use @w{} occasionally in
other circumstances anyway.  Not sure it's worth doing this every
time though - it's bad enough in some text to have to place @code{}
everywhere.  Might be better to do this only if the command
would otherwise split - ie leave it for one of the last tiding
up actions after all the text is in place (if we ever reach that
point :)
