rationale: creole does it like this.

In your proposition above I can't see if you're writing single quotes,
double quotes or a mixtures, sounds an issue :)
Anyway so it means you think we need a syntax too right?

The only downside is that the more changes we add the more difficult
it'll be for users to migrate their content. We can probably write
some migration scripts for moving links [...] to [[....]], same for
bold, etc. Might be harder to tables.
