emacs-wiki doesn't recognize them as link delimiters, so hitting RET
on the link sometimes doesn't work. Hmm, what's a good way around this?

+ works in URLs, which is why emacs-wiki recognizes it, as well.
| isn't used by emacs-wiki-link-at-point, which screws up TAB and RET
for links. It's emacs-wiki-link-at-point's responsibility to back up
and figure out where the link starts. Perhaps some nice character can
be added to it?

It should be converted into

[[planner]]"[[debug]], which highlights as planner"debug.

Anything different is probably a bug.
