FWIW, I actually have wanted that, usually when I'm copying a chunk of text and I want to keep inline hyperlinks intact. I'm not sure I want that more often than I want a plain text option that strips out all the formatting, but it does come up.

The trick is that 99% of the time I want Markdown. That is, I want hyperlinks, bullets, headers, strong, etc. to stay hyperlinks, bullets, headers, etc.

But all the other styling? The fonts, the colors, stuff like that that isn't in markdown? Nobody wants that.
