Definitions are already a part of RedCloth 3.  I'm not sure who
introduced them or when, but...

  - Foo :=
  definition
  - Bar := definition

Some Textile hacks use:

  @ Foo ~ definition
  @ Bar ~ definition

Textil.pm is:

  dl. Foo:definition
  Bar:definition
  
I think I like the WikiCode syntax better.  I'm open to this in
SuperRC, let's just be sure to allow styling and alignment as with
the other elements.

  ;(highlight) Foo : definition
  ;{color:red} Bar : definition

Also, PyTextile and Textile v2 should be checked for a precedent
perhaps.
