I don't know; I was just thinking out loud.  But perhaps the
smilification should simply find pairs of `^' and replace each pair
with a (smaller) eyes image, rather than subsuming a whole line-width
of `^' with a single larger image.

Here's another nit: :):):)

You probably see one smiley.  There are actually 3.

Now middle-button around those a bit.  Particularly, convert them all
to <colon><rparen>, then middle-button the center one.  It eats two
<colon><rparen> sequences into a single face.  Middle-button the
remaining one and it simply disappears.
