One way for a heading is to do the following:

A heading, level 1
=============

A heading, level 2
-------------------------

I think they are the ones called setext, as opposed to headings like:

# heading, level 1 #
## heading, level 2 ##
...
###### heading, level 6 ######

I find the first method preferable. The number of =/- signs doesn't 
have to be as much as the length of the previous line, but it 
definitely looks better that way.

So, my purpose was for the command to do the following: When the user 
has typed:
A heading level 1
=

with the cursor right after the = sign, and presses tab, then the whole 
line would be filled up to the same length as the previous line, 
resulting in:

A heading level 1
============

When you mentioned second to last line, I realized I only tested it 
when the previous line is the second-last line :-). I fixed it now to 
look at the previous line.
I don't really know if there is a simpler way to accomplish this, but 
that's the one I could come up with :-).
I did it because someone had mentioned it on the ML at some point, and 
I wanted to see if I could do it, and putting a whole lot of equal 
signs by hand is boring at best. I haven't been using Markdown for 
long, so maybe it's not a very often used thing, in which case we 
should remove them from the repository.

In general though, are there any things people would like to see/not 
see in the markdown bundle? I feel in the mood to write some 
commands/snippets, and as you can see, if I'm let completely loose I 
might fill up the bundle with stuff that maybe only I use. :-)
Or I could try to restrain myself and stay clear of adding stuff to it.
