Agreed, this is still a bit confusing. There is a lot of info on structs and it's hard to display it all without making a mess, but I'll definitely try to improve this over time :) > Also, it appears that type parameterization for return types isn't > showing up just yet, the return value of "pop" is just Option, not > Option<V>. Thanks - I'll get that fixed, simple omission because we didn't have type params early on. > Finally, perhaps all of the types/traits don't have to be listed with > their full paths?

One improvement I have planned is to show short form for whatever is in the prelude as well, that should help in some cases. But yeah it is in some case a bit messy and quite long so perhaps we can do short-form everywhere with the fully qualified name in the link's title attribute. I'll play with it and see.
