GitHub's solution isn't ideal, as automatically generated fragment
identifiers are rather ugly in some cases. Compare the manually specified

    https://github.com/plaid/sanctuary#either

to the auto-generated


https://github.com/plaid/sanctuary#either--a---c---b---c---either-a-b---c

for example.
