Having read plenty of discussions about interwiki/interlanguage links I always
notice two things getting mixed:
* The interlanguage model
* The implementation of this model

Say [de, en, fr, nl] are sets of articles in different languages.

If de:A, en:A, fr:A & nl:A and all exist and are about the exact subject these
should all be linked. That's the easy model. The current implementation is
Pywikipedia bots (with shitloads of edits).

But we don't live in an ideal world. For clearly defined subjects the
interwiki's are clear, but for not so clearly defined subjects or broad
subjects you end up with things like:

de:A -> en:A -> fr:A' -> nl:A -> de:A'

We call these interwiki conflicts and some can't be solved, ever. How does this
extension deal with this situation?
