#Ultramark update!

Over the holidays, I started on a new markdown engine. It's a companion to github.com/natemoo-re/ultrahtm.

We need a fast, tiny, browser-friendly, and embeddable solution for Markdown.

Currently have about 25% of the Commonmark test suite passing. Code weighs in at about 800B gzip. Hoping to keep the final thing under 2kB.

For context:
• `marked` is 11kB
• `commonmark.js` is 25kB
• `markdown-it` is 33kB
• `remark` is 37kB
