I think, new variant should be committed even it does not fix Juan's 
case. He have not confirmed the fix yet.

I still believe in my expectation, however I admit such limitation of 
parser. At first I have not recognized that the issue may be similar to
https://orgmode.org/list/CAH+Wm4-_XHUZKFTf=ZtbfnCPvQWkbEoeGs8EpYm+8SPmu8LHFg@mail.gmail.com/
Anyway for my example workaround is to add more markers before, inside, 
and after the link. Maybe I will look closer at Tom's parser if it 
solves ambiguity in the same way.

It is OK since difference is not really huge, especially taking into 
account that new variant was not compiled.

Do you still have problem with locale dependency of added tests? I can 
not guess what could be its source and expect that test should work 
reliably. Disregard "/3" in the subject of the patches. Third change is 
your code.
