This means that the parser can always build those urls without them being passed explicitly, even when searching by name. Further, the parser can tell whether it's looking at a page linked to a particular GID, without that being passed explicitly, so there's no need for Parser.card to have an options parameter.

Very nice, Nick. Very nice indeed. Shall I go ahead and pull this in?

Hold off, if you could. I'll use test instead of search, and there's a similar issue i'm going to post about with parsing set pages.
