+### `md_build_ref_def_hashtable()`
+
+All link labels in the following example all have the same FNV1a hash (after
+normalization of the label, which means after converting to a vector of Unicode
+codepoints and lowercase folding).
+
+So the example triggers quite complex code paths which are not otherwise easily
+tested.
+
+```````````````````````````````` example
