As pandoc moves toward commonmark_x as the default processor, I was 
thinking it might be nice to have a table of extensions and their current 
status with each processor, so users can see the status of the extensions 
they need, easing the decision of whether/when they can switch to using 
commonmark_x. Perhaps this could live on the GitHub wiki? 

I was imagining each extension could have one of several possible values, 
for markdown and for commonmark: 

- enabled by default
- disabled by default
- required by the spec (cannot be disabled)
- Not allowed by the spec (cannot be enabled)
- Not available (under development) 

and any other statuses that might be informative. I have put together a 
framework table from the result of pandoc --list-extensions, but that only 
lets me see whether they are disabled or enabled by default, or 
whether they do not appear as extensions (which could be for any of the 
latter three reasons). Rough vision: 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                        commonmark             
markdown       
--------------------------------------- --------------------- 
---------------------
           **abbreviations**                     NA            disabled by 
default 

       **all_symbols_escapable**                 NA            enabled by 
default  

     **angle_brackets_escapable**                NA            disabled by 
default 

         **ascii_identifiers**           disabled by default   disabled by 
default 

            **attributes**               enabled by default            NA   
       

         **auto_identifiers**                    NA            enabled by 
default  

Would this be useful, and if so, could others more knowledgable than I help 
fill in the NAs with the other three possible values? I can post the 
framework table onto the Wiki if others will then help fill it in.
