I wish you hadn't told me that, Dirk.
My one fond wish, which I've come to understand will never happen with MWtext, is to get *bold* and _italics_ as markup tokens, noting that
Wouldn't that be *bold*, _underlined_ and /italics/? :-P

In general, no. Handwritten underlines are customarily rendered in print as italics, hence that mapping. You're right; the extra flexibility would be nice, but it doesn't match what I most commonly see people do, and that was my goal. It makes no sense changing markup just for fun; mine was an Installed Base attempt to conform with the Principle of Least Astonishment.
