Disagreed. ERT is for *explicit* code and you have to be sure that no
special modification is done behind your back. This means that *all*
special characters must be disabled.
Consider for example the following example:
\begin{verbatim}aa _bb\end{verbatim}
where _ is a LyX protected space. The output will clearly not be what
the user expects. Thus, we shall not play tricks in ERT.
