I didn't say "manually" ;-) One could have an automated solution :)

I find it remarkable that you want to introduce that much of
obfuscation for something, what has been resolved for past few years ;-)
Do note, that such code would need to be maintained for all the
possible cases, would probably fail with certain grammar issues in
some messages, and, dear oh dear, may not really work with
internationalized magicwords ;-)
Is that code going to be much faster?

This is very wrong assumption. Parser is not being used in most
article pageviews (e.g. article text is parsed on about 7% of requests
to backend, of course there're quite a few Parser calls by search,
diffs, etc).
