After seeing this last post, I'm definitely keeping things the way
they are now and leaving any bold/italic markup as a local customization.
However, I'm going to put that customization into the sample-config.php
file, so that new administrators can see how easy it is to create
custom markup.  Here's the addition:

##  PmWiki allows a great deal of flexibility for creating custom markup.
##  To add support for '*bold*' and '~italic~' markup (the single quotes
##  are part of the markup), uncomment the following lines.  
##  (See PmWiki.CustomMarkup and the Cookbook for details and examples.)
# Markup("'~", "inline", "/'~(.*?)~'/", "<i>$1</i>");        # '~italic~'
# Markup("'*", "inline", "/'\\*(.*?)\\*'/", "<b>$1</b>");    # '*bold*'
