Description
Masklinn recently suggested on rust-dev that it would be nice to have cross-linking within the generated HTML docs. E.g., an occurrence of "println" in the tutorial would be a link to here (if I understand the suggestion correctly). We could do this cross-linking for all top-level items: types, traits, functions, impls, etc.
I wouldn't expect this to happen for code blocks, just for inline code. Ideally, there would also be a way to turn it off -- both in the sense that we might want to be able to tell rustdoc not to do cross-linking on a particular run (to make the docs build faster), and in the sense that we might want to be able to specify that particular occurrences should never be cross-linked (because after a point it might hinder readability).
Presumably we'd also eventually want this cross-linking within the documentation itself, too, as well as in the tutorial and manual.
