It also allows us to support a "standard" feature of wikis. Since we had put on 
wikimatrix that we support interwiki links we had to have it... ;)

Side note: if we want we could have an "iw" alias as the link type to provide a 
shorthand. Not sure it's required though.

BTW there were 2 votes for this feature so at least 2 persons were waiting for 
it ;)

Thanks
