Stars and underlines are popular due to markdown. There'd be

BACKQUOTED=`$0`
QUOTED="$0"
UNDERLINED=_$0_
STARRED=*$0*
So essentially we get to start 100% backward compatible and figure out
under
what circumstances the macros expand. I think we can get this working.
Ddoc assumes ( ) nests. But this would require that these characters
nest, too:
*abc_def * _i
for example, which is stretching things a bit because they do not
naturally nest.
No nesting. Again I'm talking simple rules. They should get us a ton of
mileage. -- Andrei
