Current behavior of Redirects totally masks any text

the #REDIRECT [[]] declaration.
The main reason this is done is that extra text containing links will
foul up the link database: the single outgoing link from a redirect is
used to keep track of where that redirect leads to.
Redirect pages really oughtn't to be stored the way they are, it's a
nasty hack. This should be recorded properly as metadata listing the
exact target as a cleanly machine-readable field.
