Description

There’s no scope defined for the underscores/asterisks used to mark text as italic or bold. This makes it impossible to style these characters independently of the text they contain.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a GFM document.
2. Mark text as __italic__, `italic`, `bold`, or `bold`.

Expected behavior:

<span class="syntax--markup syntax--italic syntax--gfm">
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--begin syntax--gfm">_</span>
  italic
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--end syntax--gfm">_</span>
</span>
<span class="syntax--markup syntax--italic syntax--gfm">
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--begin syntax--gfm">*</span>
  italic
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--end syntax--gfm">*</span>
</span>
<span class="syntax--markup syntax--bold syntax--gfm">
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--begin syntax--gfm">__</span>
  bold
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--end syntax--gfm">__</span>
</span>
<span class="syntax--markup syntax--bold syntax--gfm">
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--begin syntax--gfm">**</span>
  bold
  <span class="syntax--punctuation syntax--definition syntax--end syntax--gfm">**</span>
</span>

Actual behavior:

<span class="syntax--markup syntax--italic syntax--gfm">_italic_</span>
<span class="syntax--markup syntax--italic syntax--gfm">*italic*</span>
<span class="syntax--markup syntax--bold syntax--gfm">__bold__</span>
<span class="syntax--markup syntax--bold syntax--gfm">**bold**</span>
