The code that turns things that start with “http colon slash slash” into
clickable links doesn’t treat Markdown characters like the underscore and the
backslash specially. (This is probably meant to be convenient, but I consider
it a bug.) It also does not allow close parens in links, which is what messed
up the first version of mwengler’s link.
Oh, that’s weird. It’s always worked in the past. Or my memory is foggy. Sorry.
