 > On display with permalinks active, store the permalink in meta for
 future reference in case it's not in the meta already. In such a case,
 scan post_meta for other occurrences of this permalink. On conflict,
 delete the older one in order to give pre-eminence to the newer data.
 > So, basically the same as what's done with the old_slug meta, except
 that it would work for anything stored in the posts table (rather than
 merely posts), and that it would work when the post's date changes, when a
 page's parent changes, when the site's permalink structure changes, etc.

 Hmm. So only URLs that have a corresponding entry in wp_posts? While most
 of what I used it for are URLs for custom post types I do have URLs that
 are completely
 virtual.  It would be nice to preferable to have a list of links rather
 than have it be required to be associated with a post.
