I think one should be careful when "extending" the Wiki notation
(if there is such a thing).  If you push it too far, you'll end
up with something like HTML, and that's been invented already
;-).  Wikis are limited and therefore simple (or should be simple
and are therefore limited).

IMO the best way to work with spaces in a link is to first write
a short version, e.g. with an underscore, and expand that with a
preprocessor into a standard link.

A manual would be quite helpful, yes.  I found it quite hard to
get into understanding how it should be used (I persisted because
it sounded interesting.
