Complicated case with link titles with parenthesis

[mity]

A link title, variant in parenthesis, is described as follows in the spec. 0.28:

a sequence of zero or more characters between matching parentheses ((...)), including a ) character only if it is backslash-escaped.

That makes me wonder whether allowing un-escaped ( is good idea or whether it would be better to have some symmetry here.

Also cmark currently transforms

[link](url ((title))

into

<p><a href="url" title="(title">link</a></p>

Note the title contents having ( not matched with any ), escaped or not.

We could say: "a sequence of zero or more characters between an unescaped open parenthesis and the first unescaped close parenthesis to follow." I don't have a strong view about disallowing `(`.
