It has been proposed, informally, that wikitext be modified to prefer, and then eventually require, new markers for bold and italic text inline.
I would recommend against considering this at this time (if ever).
Hopping around changing basic syntax is probably not the thing to do when in the middle of changing the parser mechanics.
Since, as nearly as I can determine, *reliably* parsing the apostrophe related markup is unspecifiable in a formal fashion, this pretty much kills the idea completely, as far as I can see.
