See my mail about this.

I think it's good to let users decide
how tight/loose they want matching to
be - user option(s) for the regexp(s).

IMO, _..._ and *...* should be handled
separately.

Definitely don't let _...* and *..._ be
taken as emphasis of any kind.

And maybe you need to decide whether you
intend to allow combining the two: *_..._*
or _*...*_.  (Does texinfo allow/produce
such combinations?)
