Yet another markdown variant - just what the world needs! ;-)

I doubt there is any sane & easy subset of markdown that will be "safe" 
for people discussing source code. But fine if it works for you and is 
optional ;-)

But IMO, if we really want to make it easy to make fancy markup, we 
should use a wysiwyg editor - perhaps with automatic recognition of 
markdown-ish syntax.
