Well, IIUC "just this" requires live transformation of the typed input, a list 
of replacement rules and a UI to edit that list.

So, why a plugin:

1. because pluggablility is awesome
2. because it's not that tiny actually
3. because plugins are fairly cheap, and not very harder to develop than a core 
feature

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the feature though.  Or maybe you're feeling a 
plugin is a worse version than a core feature, yet I do not.
