I intentionally opted for an ASCII character as that definitely won't
cause any display/font/portability issues but changing that is no problem.

As long as we stick to manually assigned ids in the same way my patch
does it, it shouldn't be too hard. Speaking of autogenerated ids, I
failed to make use of them since I wasn't able to reproduce the same
autogenerated id twice in order to use it for the link.
Also I'm not sure how well the autogenerated ids are reproducible over
time/versions/builds, and if it is wise to use them as targets to link
to from somewhere else.
