-<:-) Valentin, do you want to implement all Texinfo features inside
\markup?  That's reinventing the wheel... and making it square.

convert-ly is a simple regular expressions-based converter, it does't
parse anything, so it substitutes all matched regexps everywhere, even
in comments, \markup arguments or Texinfo text and commands.  We already
rely on this to update docs with less pain, so this is more a feature
than a bug.
