In a word, no. I had filtered out the markdown bundle, so I hadn't explored it. Besides, smartypants doesn't do exactly what I wanted to do, anyway, as I understand it. It takes "period period period" and turns it into "…"

I was trying to have the effect of just typing from within an HTML document, using the typing that I am used to, and having TM automagically insert the right HTML code for that typographic mark.

If Smarty Pants does this as well, I didn't see it. But thanks for pointing it out - I had no idea!

Smarty pants turns double hyphens into em- and en-dashes, straight quotes to smart quotes, `...` into `…`, `x` into `×`, etc. etc.
