   parse nested inline markup somehow?  See the `collected notes
   <http://docutils.sf.net/spec/rst/alternatives.html#nested-inline-markup>`__.
 
+* Idea from Beni Cherniavsky::
+
+      I'm writing a README document linking to all other interesting
+      files in its directory.  If these were full URLs I could just
+      write them in the text but these are relative links that can't
+      be auto-recognized.  The shortest way to make such links that I
+      found was `file_name <file_name>`_.  Perhaps a shortcut for such
+      usage could be added, e.g.  `<file_name>`_ would take the target
+      as the link name?
+
+  IOW these would be equivalent::
+
+      `<file_name>`_
+      `file_name <file_name>`_
+
+  Another possibility is to drop the backticks.  Should the angle
+  brackets be kept in the output or not?  This syntax could be adopted
+  in addition to the one above::
+
+      <file_name>_
+
