Thank you, to everone who worked on this. It's quite an improvement.

Problem:
http://dlang.org/library/std/compiler/vendor.html is a 404

Recommendation:
I really liked the immediate link to the source file on github in the old layout. If possible please add it to the new layout.

Since (IIRC) DDox parses JSON layout, I think it is capable of generating exact links to the file:line of each symbol. That would be neat, as it allows quickly seeing the implementation if the documentation is not sufficient.

I wanted to do just this so I considered adding a predefined macro to ddoc to get line numbers like I did to get filenames (I needed SRCFILENAME to add the Improve This Page button) but the line numbers would pretty quickly lose sync between master and the documentation so that would also require integrating the release tag into the documentation somehow so I gave up on that idea.
