Mark,

Why didn't you ask for the most important blocker first? 

You requested parser tests — I wrote them, but the final destination for test
was a trash bin, because of "a weird-looking syntax and modifies the
preprocessor (always a dangerous step)".

Then I throw away my first implementation, and proposed a new one -- a new
hook, one-line patch, to let me implement my weird-looking syntax as an
extension, so my weird-looking syntax is not a problem because it is not a part
of MediaWiki anymore. You requested hooks.txt. I wrote hooks.txt just to get
know that you think this stuff is not really wanted by anyone.

Why didn't you request the most important thing — RFC from the very beginning?
Why did you ask for parser test, hooks.txt, $this without ampersand?

Err... Do you know something real that anyone wanted? (Immortality and tax-less
life are not real.) Many people think Wikipedia is a trash created by lamers,
so even Wikipedia is *not* a thing that *anyone* wanted. My awkward <dws/> is
wanted by two persons. Not too bad for one-line hurtless patch.
