Whether we should create synonyms beyond the
simple Image=>File redirect
when we don't have special ways of dealing with these file types yet is
arguable. The current behavior would be that [[Sound:soundfile.ogg]] would
link to the file description page for that file, but not embed it (so
would [[Image:soundfile.ogg]]). But it might be enough to have
[[File:Soundfile.ogg]] for this purpose for now.
I suppose it would be too much to hope that we could extend the {{}} syntax
to images, wherein {{Image:Some-nice_picture.jpg}} embedded the image and
[[Image:Some-nice_picture.jpg]] simply linked to the description page?
Actually, that's almost precisely what the syntax I'm working on does;
embedded images are, after all, more like inclusions than links, so I
use the same syntax for embedded images, inclusions, extensions like
math, nowiki, comments, and variables (which are like min-inclusions).
