1) I avoid writing something like $(I foo) into a comment. 
Because other people may actually read my source code and not 
just read a generated documentation from a source code. So, I 
would prefer writing *foo* or _foo_. After all that's the point 
of markdown: Pure text _looks_ like intended and enables 
html-generation at the same time.

2) If someone learns the D programming language, I think it would 
be advantageous, if that person could just write down the already 
known markdown grammar
