+I notice that there is quite a bit of redundancy when both tags and
+backlinks are used extensively. On most pages, the set of links features in
+both categories is almost identical because a tag's index page is shown
+both as a tag link and as a backlink. Is there a way to improve that

+index page refers to its contents by \[\[!map ...]], etc., but sometimes an
+auto-generated index is insufficient.
