If a sidebar contains a map, or inline (etc), one would expect a
-change/add/remove of any of the mapped/inlined pages to cause a full wiki
+add/remove of any of the mapped/inlined pages to cause a full wiki
rebuild. But this does not happen.
If page A inlines page B, which inlines page C, a change to C will cause B
at least in my simple implementation, which re-runs the dependency
resolution loop until no new pages are rebuilt.
(I added an optimisation that gets it down to 1.5X as much work on
- average, still 2x as much worst case.)
