So it should, but the wiki won't create a link pointing to an URL ending 
in ]. So either a user
explicitely put the url manually escaping a trailing ] and creating an 
invalid URL, or some
kind of parser wrongly understood it (maybe it wasn't on the wiki, 
perhaps on a mailing list?).

And if coming from a wiki, all urls containing double braces are not 
expected to be valid.

Good. I started one of those, but then focused on the C one. I'll commit 
the C version shortly.
