Thanks for the thoughts Craig.

* I'm experimenting with a "namespaces" tab that will complement the
current "vars" listing that is available now.
* The ability to link in also sounds good, though I'll focus on that
once the URL of the docs themselves is stable.
* Having online docs opens up a lot of possibilities, including
annotations, inter-function linking, and per-var usage stats. We'll
see (:
