The description above isn't the (complete) current default behavior.
[[FooBar]] will always point to FooBar in the current group
if it exists.
If FooBar doesn't exist in the current group, then [[FooBar]]
will point to the homepage of the FooBar group if that homepage
exists.
If there's neither a FooBar page in the current group nor a
homepage for the FooBar group, [[FooBar]] generates a link to
create a FooBar page in the current group.
