I disagree with this, there are many times I don't want to add a back
link, and it's not always possible if you have non-gemtext content.
A hard-coded "back" link is flawed anyways, as the server has no clue
where the user came from. It can only be an "up" link or go to the
most common place that this page is linked from.
