Mat and all,
At first I also didn't understand HC's complaint about unwanted "boat"
links: freelinks is there to populate the wiki with virtual links; I do
want precisely for every "boat" reference to link to the tiddler titled
"boat"...
But... I realized even I could need exceptions: For example, the word
"will" has a technical definition in Kantian ethics (as in volition, free
will, etc.). Suppose I want a tiddler for this concept ("will" as a noun),
and my wiki is full of technical passages that would benefit from having
this link appear "for free"... Could I take advantage of freelinks while
keeping this title? That would be crazy *unless* I could manually prevent
sentences about "what ~will happen later" or from pointing people to this
tiddler defining "will" as a noun.
(Maybe this example isn't great because the exceptions might outnumber the
positive cases, but you get the idea...)
