/**
 * Stamp the Markdown link targets of `spans` on the segments of `lines`
 * measured from them. The segments are matched character by character
 * against the spans' text — skipping the whitespace a line break swallows,
 * the soft hyphens and zero-width break opportunities the measurer inserted
 * and the hyphen a break adds — and a
 * segment holding any linked character takes that link's `href` (a word
 * glued to the link text, like its closing full stop, is part of the link
 * area). Characters the layout added (`inserted`: the 《》 of
 * `cjk.bookTitleMark: 'brackets'`, which are spans, and a warichu note's
 * brackets, which the composer adds and no span holds) are no character of
 * the text: their spans and segments are passed over, and never linked.
 * Returns `lines` itself when nothing is linked, or when the segments
 * cannot be matched (the block then simply has no live links).
