Markdown reader: add extension for GitHub wiki's internal link syntax [[page name]] #2923

Forgive me if this has already been noted as an issue but I did a bit of searching through issues and online and didn't turn up with anything.

I'm on the latest version of Pandoc (1.17.0.2) and I'm attempting to use markdown_github to convert to HTML. I'm noticing that Pandoc does not convert links that look like the following:

  • [[example link|MarkdownPage]]
  • [[MarkdownPage]]

It's possible we are using outdated constructs, but GitHub has supported this for years. I noticed that Sublime supports the second but not the first with it's regular markdown preview tool.

The command I'm running:
pandoc --from markdown_github+simple_tables+native_spans+native_divs+multiline_tables --to html5 [..snip..]

Is this something that could be added for conversion? Or is there an extension that already does this that I may have missed?
