Well, I guess that this would work.  I see two issues with it.  First,
there is no "annotate body" function so one would have to be written.
But that's no big deal.  The harder one is what to do about any existing
body content.  Should the code scan it looking for #s and parse them to
determine which ones are mhbuild directives and double the #s for ones
that are not?
