I might give it a try, but:

* I'd like to make the mechanism a bit more general, so it covers both 
  emphasis and buttonization.  It remains to be seen if the end result 
  will actually be faster than the regexp code.

* I'm not sure I want to support the old regexp special cases of
  emphasis and buttonization.
