What if an author wants to bold something that doesn't begin/end with
alphabetic characters?

At the moment, the only existing PmWiki markup that might conflict is
the *'s for bullets; to start a line with bold text one would
have to write something like
[==]*this is bold* text
I've been toying with the idea of swapping the order of processing
inline and link markup; if we did this then /.../ would mess with
any sort of url or filename path.
