I see the need for:
-* a new tool to mine incoming links to a given page
* a new type of file to represent a forwarding page
-* a rename tool that can, at a minimum, move the existing page to the new name and optionally drop a forwarding page. If not unreasonably difficult, optionally rewrite incoming links to the new location.
