I have created a python filter which replaces user-definable abbreviations 
(stored in a dictionary file and/or in a pandoc markdown source document's 
metadata) with their expansions. This is my attempt to replicate the kind 
of possibilities offered by LaTeX macros like \newcommand{\osh}{oshigami}, 
i.e. write '\osh', get 'oshigami' when the document is processed. In the 
past I've found this very useful for maintaining consistency throughout a 
document, and I missed this when I moved to writing in markdown.

I'm not really a programmer but - based on what I could understand from 
looking at other python filters out there - I managed to slap together 
something which seems to do what I want it to. However, I'm not really 
competent to judge whether it's fit for 'general consumption' and I am 
hoping there might be people out there willing to spend a few minutes to 
take a look at it and advise me on what needs to be done to make it 
'roadworthy'. 

This is the repository: https://github.com/scokobro/pandoc-abbreviations

Thanks in advance!
