Ah, but _so_ much easier to type. Not a very elegant or consistent
markup, but it works.
I remember that the Pandoc guy did a version in Lua:
https://github.com/jgm/lunamark
Uses LPeg, and as he observes:
". It is significantly faster than the author's own C library
peg-markdown, an order of magnitude faster than pandoc, two orders of
magnitude faster than Markdown.pl, and three orders of magnitude
faster than markdown.lua."
