I tend to distinguish such stuff using markup. I.e. I'd write
   $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('%subst%edit_password%%');
in wiki markup and define the subst style as, say, italic. (My initial 
idea was to use italics directly, but that obviously doesn't work:
   $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('''edit_password''');
Having a CSS style probably would be a better idea anyway.)
Oh, and somebody please give "subst" a better name.
