Emphasis with `_`

[Michel Fortin]

There was a discussion about this back in december on this list. Since 
then, I got many reports about erroneous emphasis in path names, urls, 
and function names, all caused by a `_` character. The problem mostly 
arise in Markdown-formatted comments, where the commenter is not that 
much familiar with the Markdown syntax.

I don't have much to add to the discussion we had back then, but I want 
to say my opinion on this now favour asymmetry between asterisks and 
underscore as emphasis markers. *At least in a comment field.*

John any progress lately on Markdown 1.0.2? Things seems to be stalled 
right now.
