The idea would be to support most of them. There may be a few
uncommonly used ones that we'd consider dropping (in particular,
extensions that are incompatible with the core commonmark spec).
In any case, we'd keep the legacy parser available as an option
for a while, to ease the transition.
Do you have any particular ones in mind. I guess that at the moment I'm most afraid of losing `four_space_rule` since it is so to speak a compatibility extension. OTOH maybe if I consistently use steps of 4 in my source (which I already do, e.g. 3 spaces after a list bullet) I won't notice much difference.
