In retrospect I somewhat wish that I had chosen '{' and '}' to mean
"suppress text in the link" instead of parens.

Is it to late to change if it's done slowly, i.e. to begin with allow '{'
and '}' to also suppress text?

John Rankin and I had discussed the possibility that '{' and '}' could be used to add text. :-)

How about the following links, where the link text is shown to the right:

        [[Some other page]]             ->   Some other page

        [[a page -> Some other page]]        ->   Some other page

        [[Some {other} page]]           ->   Some page

        [[Some {-other} page]]          ->   Some page

        [[Some other page{+s}]]         ->   Some other pages

        [[Some {-other} page{+s}]]      ->   Some other pages

It is getting a tad complicated, I also think you want to hide text more often than you want to add. What do you think?
