I conditionally object to that last one _IF_ It incorporates banning of
this structure:

L<<
ASDF
|URL
>>

Presently that format is quite useful when either URL or link text is very
large, and avoids tripping some
line-length metrics that can't otherwise easily be satisfied in a
non-global manner.

And it presently parses correctly and converts correctly.

And it becomes more relevant somewhat when you have very large texts or
very large link targets.

Presently,


Parses correctly.

Likewise:

L<text here
|URL Here>

Is also presently valid and has the desired product.
