If the conversion is likely to be unambiguous, this is the simplest
method: it's highly unlikely this rule will generate a false match.

There are several places in the docs where `center-align' shouldn't be
converted to `center-column' (e.g., comments in snippets); this rule
ensures only markup commands are picked up (backslashed or #:).

>    str = re.sub (r"hcenter(\s+)", r"center-align\1", str)

This rule expects a space after `hcenter' to prevent \hcenter-in from
being converted (though it doesn't account for make-hcenter-markup).

>    str = str.replace ("pad-markup", "pad-around")

I think this will be fine, since `pad-markup' is unlikely to be found
outside its present usage; it also picks up #:pad-markup and
`make-pad-markup-markup'. :)
