Description
It would be great to have an extension to automatically link urls existing in markdown text. (Like urlify/urlize in other packages)
This is possible with the link-patterns extra, but requires people to come up with their own regex / have a link-patterns file when using from commandline. It would be ideal to be able to just turn on one flag, as many URL regexes out there are either broken or really long, and this seems like a common enough use case to include.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing link-patterns extra and the command-line option handling, since the issue identifies both as relevant entry points. Define the default URL matching behavior and expose it through one flag; done means URLs in Markdown text are automatically linked without requiring a custom regex or link-patterns file.
