Glad you like it. I did put it together in a hurry to solve an inhouse
problem, so it could do with a little rationalisation, not to mention
examples! I really /do/ mean to add this to the main docs.

That's a valid point. I'll look into changing this. It would just need
another constructor to allow a different factory to be supplied
(LinkFactory or something with a more sensible name...).
