Good point... I can imagine not noticing the difference between
[[link#anchor]] and [[link|#sequence]].
Using only a single "br?dg?rd", we get [[link|#]] which is also a bit
close to e.g. [[link#a]] (the anchor is called 'a' here).
The situation might be improved by requiring a space
[[link#a]] v.s. [[link | #]]
but I'm not sure we want that.
Here's another idea, what if we use '[[# link]]' instead? One advantage is
the similarity to
# Enumerated list item
Are there any drawbacks to this?
Oh, wait... a link to an anchor on the current page is done as
'[[#anchor]]', never mind :-( At least no one else has to come up with
this idea again.
Btw, the current solution (where [[http://...]] is rendered as [1]) isn't
very good for new users. I just came across an example of where (I think)
someone was expecting [[http://some.url]] to simply become a link.
