The entire point is that if done in this manner people wouldn't *need*
custom versions of fossil (or non-fossil plugins) - custom versions of
fossil (or non-fossil plugins) would just add the ability to edit text
in a user's preferred format (and then convert and save that as fossil
wiki format).

Fossil itself would only ever "see"/store fossil wiki markup, so users
without the custom versions of fossil (or non-fossil plugins) could
continue to edit text in fossil wiki format. Users of mainline fossil
would not need to know or care that custom versions of fossil (or
non-fossil plugins) existed.
