I think what you want to do here is to emit a substitution strip marker
from your parser function hook, then let that get substituted back in
during final stages of parsing -- this would be equivalent to how tag hooks
like <ref> and <nowiki> work.
See CoreParserFunctions::tagObj() which implements the {{#tag:}} parser
function (essentially a wrapper around tag hooks using the parser function
syntax). This should show how to insert stuff for replacement...
