rustdoc should have more granular source links

[etrepum]

As a very new user to Rust, I would find it incredibly helpful if source links were provided by rustdoc. Haskell's Haddock does this and I've found it really useful; here's an example of the output: http://lambda.haskell.org/platform/doc/current/ghc-doc/libraries/haskell2010-1.1.1.0/Prelude.html (see the "Source" link to the right of any function, type or typeclass).

rustdoc does actually have source links for things in the upper-right of every page (http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/index.html), but were you looking for more specific source links on certain items?

It could be nice to have more source links for things like methods and functions.

I didn't even notice that! However, these links don't go to where I would expect them to. All of the ones that I've clicked on take me to different lines in std.rs which isn't very useful behavior. For example http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/std/ascii/index.html the link goes to http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/src/std/home/rustbuild/src/rust-buildbot/slave/doc/build/src/libstd/std.rs.html#125 but I would expect it to go to http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/src/std/home/rustbuild/src/rust-buildbot/slave/doc/build/src/libstd/str/ascii.rs.html

To answer your question, I am looking for more specific source links on certain items.

I might also suggest renaming [src] to [source]. There's a massive amount of whitespace nearby, not a whole lot of reason to abbreviate. Makes searching harder, unless you already know to look for src.
