/*

hypothetical link:
fn link = many_till(text_element, link_end)

but what if you start a bold?
fn bold = many_till(text_element, bold_end) could eat the link_end

Do I pass along break-conditions? Passing link_end into bold's parser?

I'll try a very simple language first where asterisks always start/end bold and links are just between [ and ]. Paragraphs will have a blank line between them.
