Pre-defined links might get added to a document, and then the
link names constitute an interface. This is not contrived; read
my previous mail.

It doesn’t decrease it either, other than for the square bracket
bug that noone has complained about in years. Permitting escaped
square brackets would be extra work for the parser, but for all
other punctuation, so would being restrictive. I see no reason to
make new rules about anything other than square brackets.
