 * Before I upgrade my site to WP2.1, I need to replace some markup. It’s a good
   job I tested the new version out on a local server or I’d be screwed right now!
 * I need to replace this pattern:
 * `<div class="figure"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" /></a>
    Text</div>
 * With this pattern:
 * `<p class="figure"><a href=""><img src="" alt="" /></a>
    Text</p>
 * Replacing the opener is easy, but I’m going to need a regular expression to catch
   the closing tag too. And I know next to nothing about them!
