This works, but somehow it doesn't feel as clean as 
(:markup:)...(:markupend:), and it introduces "yet another" ad-hoc
mechanism for enclosing a block of markup.  I guess I'm hoping for
some means of allowing (:markup:)...(:markupend:), while not completely
breaking sites that have used (:markup:) [=...=].

OTOH, allowing an arbitrary sequence to serve as the end marker does
have its uses, so I'm not tossing it out either.  I guess I'm looking
to be able to retain *some* semblance of order and consistency in the
markup.
