Turns out the spec is at <https://github.github.com/gfm/>.  It's clear
enough for my purposes.

The spec indicates that this approach would limit the scope of the
content.  GFM has markup for the non-literal representation of character
content (as HTML-like character references) in flowed text, but not in
either of the code-style contexts (inline code spans, and code blocks).
Non-ASCII code-style text isn't something that I need, but some people
want it.
