Is there no chance that the logic can be simplified somewhat?  There are 7
separate tilde rules in that list -- basically, someone thinking "what are
the tilde-handling rules in PHPWiki?" is going to fill their brain's L1
cache.

What about "single tilde suppresses specialness, and under no circumstances
gets printed, two tildes produces one visible tilde"?  In other words, "if
you want a tilde, give two".
