Is there any possibility to customize the markup characters used in 
markdown?

For example: There are currently a number of different "flavours" of 
markdown out there. Github uses a custom version that deviates from the 
norm. One of the most productive versions I have used is baked into 
piggydb, a note taking app I use. It uses the ' as the mark-up character, 
something that cuts keystrokes. eg. regular markdown uses * and _, both of 
which require a shift-char. If it is simple to make this configurable, it 
would be much appreciated.
