Ah, of course. I misunderstood the issue. I suppose in that case,
the old proposition that header text automatically becomes a link
target would raise from the grave:

    ... such as [the • character][Option-8 for •] ...

And of course that has all the issues discussed elsewhere.

[As a sidenote, it’s interesting that Mac uses Option-8 for this,
which I personally picked the “**” digraph for in Vim. I guess
some choices are just intuitive and natural.]
