This is all great until you want to begin a line with a literal dash,
etc. The behavior of "natural" mark-up engines like ReST is simply not
well-defined and predictable in the way that TeX and XML-based mark-up
are. Rather than have clear delineation between what is mark-up and what
is content, it has to rely on complex regular expressions that may
sometimes do the wrong thing.
