It supports ```language blocks, but not autolink detection. I have not fully documented which features are supported. I also haven't done any performance analysis versus other tools, simply because my goal is in no way high efficiency. It is fast enough for my use cases, and I don't intend to spend significant time optimizing unless a problematic level of inefficiency is discovered. If anyone else wants to put together benchmarks, I'll be happy to lend some guidance.

even better: write it into your module haddocks)?

Thinks like
- autolink detection
- ```language blocks?

Also, you build on performance-oriented libraries - it would be cool if
you could make a small benchmark comparing with the standard
C/Python/Ruby parser implementations; AFAIK there is a standard Markdown
test suite that this could run against.

Concerning the project proposal:

I especially find the last feature useful for programming documentation,
and would love to have them in a potential haddock succesor. I was also
pleasantly surprised that pandoc seems to handle all of this (even with
code syntax highlighting).
