 The !WikiFormatter is a bit too enthusiastic about escaping URLs used in
 TracLinks -- specifically, I wanted to create a !TracLink to the head
 revision of a file, and so wrote ![source:path/to/file.java?rev=head My
 Link Text] in the description for the new ticket I was entering. It got
 escaped, so that the link was to `path/to/file.java%3Frev%3Dhead` instead.
 That URL yields a 404 error, not the head revision of path/to/file.java.

 I have also noticed that it always escapes ampersands, even when they're
 the prefix to an HTML character entity. In other words, I should be able
 to write &!#91; and get a left square bracket. But what I get instead is
 &!#91;.
