Comment (by iseulde):

 Also, let's keep in mind that we added this to allow simple shortcuts, not
 to fully support markdown. I think bold and italic inside words will be
 more useful than allowing delimiter characters inside the text. It cannot
 be solved anyway for something like `_$var_name_`, only `__$var_name__`,
 so the rule is a bit weird in my opinion. Additionally I think `*`
 delimiters are bit better for this, and if `_` is used, the conversion can
 still be undone easily.
