These examples of things that don't require escaping are taken
from the RST documentation:

```
% pandoc -f native -t rst
[Para [Str "2*x a**b O(N**2) e**(x*y) f(x)*f(y) a|b"]
,Para [Str "a**b O(N**2) e**(x*y) f(x)*f(y)"]
]
^D
2*x a**b O(N**2) e**(x*y) f(x)*f(y) a|b

a**b O(N**2) e**(x*y) f(x)*f(y)
```

These examples of things that do require escaping are taken
from the RST documentation:

```
