Yes, I seem to remember :-)

But this is not written into the content - just a display of (possible) 
related links, like "what links here". Granted, links on "what links 
here" are human-made, but so are page titles. We're bound to step onto 
some false positives with this, but IMHO the advantages outweight that. 
Unless, of course, it badly affects performance, which I doubt, given 
the rather minor query (it uses "%", though...)
