Textile supports what it calls a "link alias", which is analogous to Markdown's reference-style links.
During the parser's first-pass, we can collect link references in addition to footnotes. Textile differs from Markdown in that reference definitions don't have titles nor attributes, so the stored values in
stateKeys
is relatively sparse.I modeled the parser after the Markdown, and the new test cases are passing, but let me know if there's anything essential from Markdown's reference parsing that I missed.
