Code spans and blocks, and explicit markup (inline and block) should
be completely literal.  True statement with 1.0.1b8?

Not being able to penetrate MD's regexes, when I've caught it making
what seemed like "bad touches" and testing everything I could, I've
had to wonder if I hadn't found a seam.  It'd be good to know that
MD literally doesn't touch what it shouldn't, rather than
conditionally simulating that it didn't touch.

Code spans and blocks, and explicit markup (inline and block) should
be completely literal.  True statement with 1.0.1b8?
