everytime I type D3 meaning the javascript visualization lib,
it references that Diff #. Similarly with common strings like
#servers looking up projects. I want the auto-linking behavior
most times, I just want a simple escape character for the few
times when I don't.

I'd also like this index:

CREATE INDEX dateCreated ON phabricator_maniphest.maniphest_transaction (dateCreated);

I am admittedly querying the tables directly.
My use case is finding all recently resolved tasks,
which seems common enough that there will be a
similar use case in the UI which will need this index.

the majority of users at our site would prefer to disable this.
could it be made into a config option?
