[pollen] importing one Pollen source into another

Neither. The code is tagged with Pygments. The terms that end up in the `k` and `nb` classes are Racket identifiers. These are passed through a function that generates a link to the docs, derived from the `docs` function here. [1] Then a few housekeeping details to make everything look right.
