Description:
------------
With support for superscripts it follows that subscripts should be supported as well. I developed a subscript rule from the superscript rule in about 15 minutes. Seems to work fine. Only problem is that a standard implementation in Text_Wiki might use a different pattern than what I chose (I did H--2--O to get the notation for water). It would be helpful if the notation to be used in future versions were at least fixed now, even if not implemented.

Reproduce code:
---------------
H--2--O

Expected result:
----------------
H<sub>2</sub>O

Actual result:
--------------
H--2--O

Already beginning to see problems with --sub-- as a lot of people use -- in common text. Maybe ~~sub~~ would work better?

The ,,double commas,, are fine with me!
