I think we should just swallow the pill and force a change of all
	(:markup:) [=...=]
into
	(:markup:) ... (:markupend:)

Something similar would be needed for (:dmarkup:), or we could possibly 
use:

	(:markup:) .... (:markupshow:) ... (:markupend:)

for when we want to use different rendering code.

If that's not acceptable, we should instead address the problem with the
[=...=]. If I understand that correctly, it is related to [= ... =] not
actually being parsed, but just matched against a regexp? (Which makes it
difficult to handle nested pairs, which is what we'd really like here)

Personally, I'd very much appreciate [=...=] that can be nested...
