Actually what I'd love to see is a way to automatically lower case a reference.

I don't know how may times I've typed something like.

mounted on the [[Framis Bulkhead|framis bulkhead]]

or 

The [[Globulator:Farbulator Overflow Valve|farbulator overflow valve]]
was mounted on the [[Globulator:Framis Bulkhead|framis bulkhead]]

Just like [[Globulator:Farbulator Overflow Valve|]] seems to get saved
as [[[[Globulator:Farbulator Overflow Valve|Farbulator Overflow
Valve]] it would be very nice to have a shortcut for lowercasing the
expansion after the |
