Thank you.
BTW, I'm considering creating a "next" branch for pending patches that
I'm refraining to push to master. It could help moving forward.

Not at all. If you're fontifying sub/superscripts, it changes size of
the whole script (e.g., a_{0123456789}), so it can be obnoxious.
Besides, even if a single character changes its size, the whole line
"jumps". This is distracting.

Actually, that was only square brackets around the link, not the link
itself, so there was really 2 characters involved. But, see above.

We can of course discuss it on the ML, but it would be nice to make
clear what is the problem to solve first.
