Bug: invalid nesting of inline markup across link labels

Hi John,

there’s a bug in Markdown.pl:

[foo*bar](#) [baz*quux](#)

This expands to the following:

<p><a href="#">foo<em>bar</a> <a href="#">baz</em>quux</a></p>

Those `*` should either be disregarded or the tags should nest
correctly:

1. <p><a href="#">foo*bar</a> <a href="#">baz*quux</a></p>
2. <p><a href="#">foo<em>bar</em></a><em> </em><a href="#"><em>baz</em>quux</a></p>

Of course, the second option is a lot more complex to implement
and at the same time unlikely to be what the user actually meant.
