About 4x slower than the current markdown in unstable, or 2x as slow
as the markdown in experimental. See #466330.
However, Text::Markdown's author is at least making noises about
speeding it up. Apparently it's been profiled to spend most of its
time in Text::Balanced.

I think that the following changes made in the debian package of markdown
should be reverted:
-package Markdown;
+package Text::Markdown;
+my $g_perl_module = exists $INC{'Text/Markdown.pm'};
# change above test to test for Markdown.pm
Then Markdown and Text::Markdown would be two distinct modules. Which
makes sense since they have different subroutine names as well.
