README.md uses exactly three features:

* monospace text

* headings

* lists

We probably want to rely on GitHub's stricter interpretation of
underscores, where they only start/end italic formatting if they are
respectively the first or the last character in the word.  This is a
common extension (for example Stack Exchange does the same).

The question is: is anyone actually viewing formatted markdown anywhere
else than on github?
