But then Israel pointed out that find-links were mentioned above. So, someone should probably fix that(I don't have time at the moment but will look later, if noone else gets to it. ;-) My only point was that it is "better" to specify exactly what you want to add for two reasons: 1. To avoid "finding links" you don't want (aka "pollution" which leads to conflicts). 2. To demonstrate to folks that it is possible to specify find-links this way.
