I dunno. Make a case. There's no backward compatibility necessary, so we do not 
have to worry about the two ways of doing lists, for example. Just '*' will do.

Aside from what Ddoc already does, I'd just stick with:

* Lists
* Nested Lists
* Headings
* Bold
* Italic
* \ escaping
* Quoted text

and skip:

* tables
* links
* emoji
