Your objection seems to be that #2 is more commonly what we want, but more typing, and #3 is easier, but not often wanted.
Yes, thats exactly right.
Heres how Gaz's Perfect Wiki would work...
[[work]]ing shows _working_, links to [[work]] [[work|working]] shows _working_, links to [[work]] (backwards compatible) [[work|]]ing shows _work_ing, links to [[work]]] ^ |-- Any uncommon ASCII character will do. `|' seems reasonable since it already has a special meaning, but one that makes no little or no sense in this context
