I know, I wrote about it a while ago: <http://michelf.com/weblog/2005/
bad-uses-of-the-at-operator/>.

The problem here is that the definitions at the start of PHP Markdown
are meant to be user-modifiable. I think adding this code to each
definition would make it more intimidating for users to change. It
would also makes the code a little less readable.

I know the error suppression operator is slow. I would never use @ in
a loop, but for something which happens only once (when the
markdown.php is included), I think that's fine.
