According to the docstring, functions in `forward-thing-provider-alist'
should accept a single argument - the number of "things" to skip
forward/backward. But it is not what `org-next-link' expects.
In a twist, it turns out *this* patch for Org-mode was correct, and my
prior patch for thingatpt.el was wrong. In short, 'forward-thing' now
calls the functions in 'forward-thing-provider-alist' with a BACKWARD
flag, rather than an integer N. That's because 'forward-thing' needs to
account for the case where you have multiple providers for the same
"thing", and so it needs to go one at a time checking all the providers
for the best match (read: the one that moves point by the smallest
non-zero amount).
I've now pushed the thingatpt fix to the Emacs master branch.
