+What about: "!link(done)"
+
+Specifically, I want to make sure it works now that I've changed
+`match_link` to only return a page as an influence if it *does*
+link to done.
+
+So, when matching against page P, that does not link to done,
+there are no influences, and the pagespec matches. If P is later
+changed to add a link to done, then the dependency resolver will directly
+notice that.
+
+When matching against page P, that does link to done, P
+is an influence, and the pagespec does not match. If P is later changed
+to not link to done, the influence will do its job.
+
+Looks good!

+----
+
+Here is a case where this approach has some false positives.
+
+"bugs/* and link(patch)"
+
+This finds as influences all pages that link to patch, even
+if they are not under bugs/, and so can never match.
+
+To fix this, the influence calculation would need to consider boolean
+operators. Currently, this turns into roughly:
+
+`FailReason() & SuccessReason(patch)`
+
+Let's say that the glob instead returns a HardFailReason, which when
+ANDed with another object, drops their influences. (But when ORed, combines
+them.) Fixes the above, but does it always work?

+`HardFailReason() | SuccessReason(bugs/foo)` =>
+`HardFailReason()` => right
+
+#### High-level Calculation and Storage
+
+Naively calculating the full influence list for a pagespec requires trying
+to match it against every page in the wiki. I'd like to avoid doing such
+expensive matching redundantly.
+
+It may be possible, for some types of pagespecs, to just try matching a
+single, arbitrary page against it, and know the full influence list has
+been obtained. It seems to be that case that if a pagespec has any
+influences, matching any page will return at least one. So if none are
+returned, we can skip trying other pages.
+
+If the influence list does not include the page that was tried, we know
+that the pagespec does not things like `link()` and `title()`, that are
+influenced by the page's own content. So it *might* be safe to not try
+matching any more pages in this case too. I think it would work for all
+current pagespec terms. There might be a hypothetical term where this
+optimisation doesn't work. We could add a special case to ensure it can
+work: If a term declares it is unfluenced by "", then it means it is
+always influenced by the matching page.
+
+Anyway, this seems worth doing: Add a `pagespec_match_all`, which returns a
+list of all pages in the whole wiki that match the pagespec, and also adds
+the pagespec as a dependency, and while it's at it, calculates and stores
+the influence list.
It could have an optional sort parameter, and limit parameter, to control
how many items to return and the sort order. So when inline wants to
