This was how John's original version of Muse treated verbatim
characters, so I followed suit for the first release.  It's worth
raising the issue, however.

With emacs-wiki, the '=' signs remained in-place, but the text was
marked up using `emacs-wiki-verbatim-face', which was grayish.

Now that the first release is complete, I will implement something
similar to this.

Would it be a good thing for people to be able to specify whether the
'*', '_', and '=' characters are hidden when colorized?  There are
times when I think this might be worthwhile.
