 Imagine you're creating a link to a twitter profile in a blog post/page:

 {{{
 <a href="http://twitter.com/boone">@boone</a>
 }}}

 Imagine also that there's a local user with the user_nicename `boone`.

 The @-mention filter finds `@boone` and does this:

 {{{
 <a href="http://twitter.com/boone"></a><a
 href="http://example.com/members/boone3/" rel="nofollow">@boone3</a>
 }}}

 Not 100% sure what the best fix is for this edge case. Probably: adjust
 the regex so that it skips @-mentions already inside of `<a>...</a>`. (not
 sure how this regex would look. Might have to do some PHP logic or break
 it into multiple regex matches) Thoughts?
