Sure, a name like /wiki/a/b could be interpreted as /wiki?name=a/b, but it
would still break relative paths. It's not enough for Fossil to understand
that the / in a/b isn't a path separator; the browser would need to
understand that as well. Linking to (c) would either go to /wiki/a/c or /c,
but not /wiki/c.
