Comment(by ferk):

 In order to not make it annoying, the smilies could be displayed but still
 treated like text. I mean... if you accidentally type "smile" and it
 changes to a icon, then pressing backspace key to delete it will turn the
 icon into "smil" so that you can easily modify the words that make the
 smiley without having to type them all.
 Also, when copy-pasting it should be copied as text.

 The parser should take the longest match, so that ":-))" can display a
 different smiley than ":-)", for example.

 If this is done that way it could be a nice addition for preventing
 accidental sending of smilies
