I do wonder if we actually need this in page at all, and given:

I really don't like it... I don't want to create files
whose names are globbing characters; that's a road to pain.

So, even if we did document this type in the page,
I don't think we can have a good link name. (I suppose we
could add it to the pagewithout having a link.)

Thanks,

Michael
