Dumb Links

VS Code extension which resolves relative links, with support for symbols and search.

[!NOTE]

WIP: the basic logic works, but there is no test, and the name / documentation will likely change. It is also both too permissive (it will resolve anything that looks like a link) and too strict (it will yield errors if a symbol cannot be resolved).
