I can't think of a good reason why both of the above examples
shouldn't work. In other words, if you use `<...>` quoting
around the URL, you should be able to embed literal parens
regardless if they're balanced.

I'll update Markdown.pl accordingly. (Michel's PHP Markdown
already supports this, I think...)
