Hum, couldn't we do better? When finding `[this] [that]`, Markdown 
checks if there is a label named "this". If such a label exists, 
Markdown makes two links using the new syntax. So:

	Check out [this] [that] and [the other].

	  [this]: this
	  [that]: that
	  [the other]: the_other

gives three links while:

	Check out [this] [that] and [the other].

	  [that]: that
	  [the other]: the_other

give two links.
