Removed readerSmart and the --smart option; added Ext_smart extension.

Now you will need to do

    -f markdown+smart

instead of

    -f markdown --smart

This change opens the way for writers, in addition to readers,
to be sensitive to +smart, but this change hasn't yet been made.

API change. Command-line option change.

Updated manual.
