feat: Added rel_url pipe for subsites.

 - [ ] don't use bullshit "sub-tokens", add filters and pipes as proper tokens.
 - [ ] Create a Location struct that somewhat matches Odin's [Source_Code_Location](https://pkg.odin-lang.org/base/runtime/#Source_Code_Location)?
   - Note that odin's version doesn't contain the stack trace.
+- [ ] Link checker / linter that warns if links don't resolve. ("please use {{whatever | rel_url }}").

       - do we want to do this or just use DIAGNOSTIC_TESTS.md as the tests?
       - [ ] also update to use file logger so they don't clog up the output
     - [ ] narrow highlight in diagnostic to relevent part of line.
+- [ ] page.url and page.permalink are confusing names. Switch to url + page_url
+  - There is confusion over how to do this and whethor or not `| rel_url` should be needed to render these.

 - [ ] Simplify `trim_standalone_whitespace` — four temp arrays (`li_buf`, `ri_buf`, `left_done`, `right_done`) could potentially be reduced to two by merging the done-tracking into the index buffers using sentinel values (e.g. `-2` = already trimmed).
 - [ ] Adjacent standalone tags don't capture indent for the second tag (e.g. `  {{>a}}\n  {{>b}}` — `{{>b}}` gets `indent=""` because its left text was consumed by `{{>a}}`'s right-trim). Blocks recover via `deindent_blocks`, but partials/parents have no fallback.
 - [ ] lazy load partials ? (with mutex)
+- [ ] Support changing delimiters (Set Delimiter tag `{{=<% %>=}}`). Delimiters `{{`/`}}`/`{{{`/`}}}` are hardcoded in [tokenizer.odin](./tokenizer.odin); needs an `=` sigil case, mutable open/close delimiters threaded through `tokenize`, and wiring up `spec/specs/delimiters.json` in `spec_test.odin` (fixture present but not run).
