Jon and I would like to propose a replacement for autolinks.
Instead of users explicitly declaring [autolink], we'd automatically
convert <a href> tags to autolinks and treat their query string as page
parameters. This new approach is capable of replacing all preexisting
autolink functionality.

PRO:

- Automatic conversion of internal links to autolinks (as opposed to
having to explicitly declare them).
- We no longer run the risk of broken links resulting from developers
forgeting to link <a href> tags with Wicket pages.

CON:

- Overhead of resolving the <a href> tags the first time the Page is
ever rendered. We need to resolve URLs to Wicket pages dynamically, and
cache them for future rendering.
