I sympathize to the idea of intra-word emphasis, but the syntax above is
going to cause some ambiguous situations.

I do think the marker + zero-width space is one way to go. We could, as
an improvement, consider zero-width spaces around emphasis markers to be
part of the markup, and replace them along during export.

Another solution is to introduce a less-subtle, but less prone to
ambiguity, syntax, e.g.,

                  /{bold}/markup   or   /|bold|/markup

where /{ }/  or /|  |/ become "extended" markers.

I find zero-with spaces solution much more elegant. It also doesn't
change current syntax, which is a big advantage.
