The mode can't look ahead and determine whether the bracket corresponds to a well-formed link, so it has to work this way—assuming something that may start a link actually does so. Full Markdown parsers work very differently from typical programming language parsers, but in a highligher, we do have to work in a single pass.

If a user invokes '[' on the middle of document, "the rest of document" will have a blue line. It's awkward for users.
