Hello,

If there is an "unencoding" part, and if that part cannot happen for
some reason, links will be unusable outside Org.

That's already the case with the current encoding, which will break, for
example, links already hexified if it cannot unencode them properly.

We can also avoid any encoding, and extend link syntax so it allows
balanced square brackets (with a maximum depth, otherwise we cannot use
a regexp for bracket links anymore).
