If you have many Scottish or Irish names, you can add a markup to
catch them all automatically. Something like the following:

Markup('mc','<`wikiword','/`?\\b(Ma?c[[:upper:]][[:lower:]]+)\\b/e',
    "Keep('$1')");

This says: before evaluating escaped wikiwords, look for words
starting with Mac or Mc followed by an uppercase letter and
put them to one side so they don't get wikified. It also loses
any backticks people might have entered.
