Confluence storage format

Confluence storage format

The Confluence cloud REST API uses a different format from the wiki markup 
(which is already supported using `-f jira` and `-t jira`). The format used 
internally and in the API is the "Confluence Storage Format", documented 
here: 
https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-storage-format-790796544.html. 
This isn't quite HTML, though somewhat close.

How difficult would it be to add support for this format for reading & 
writing? I can see that someone already put together a custom writer here:

I don't appreciate the intricacies of the format, so I find that
difficult to estimate. A rewrite of the existing Lua writer in Haskell
would be fairly easy in most parts, but I'm far less confident when it
comes to images and links.

The main difficulty thought is testing. Atlassian's systems seem to
change drastically between versions; in order to maintain such a writer,
one would need access to a Confluence version supporting this feature.

A custom writer seems like a fine solution for this format.
