Nested inline markup

[njsmith]

Maybe I just missed it, but I don't see any mention of ReST's most pointlessly obnoxious limitation: the brokenness of nested inline markup. E.g. in markdown I can trivially do bold italics with a link but in ReST this requires extraordinary hacks.

Any serious work on ReST should just fix this. We've known how to write real parsers since, like, the 60s.
