In Python Markdown we've put a lot of effort precisely into making
such changes as painless as possible. For example, adding support for
/emphasis/ just requires one line in _your_ code:

    import markdown
    md = markdown.Markdown()
    md.inlinePatterns["slash_emphasis"] = \
       markdown.inlinepatterns.SimpleTagPattern(r'(\/)([^\/]*)\2', 'em')
    print md.convert("this /should/ work")

(This is for the version currently in git.  The last released version
makes it a little more complicated, though not that much more.)
