    This is actually in the "reference" implementation of the current web interface: http://seld.be/rustdoc/master/std/from_str/trait.FromStr.htm... (the [src] link.) (That feature has yet to be ported to the Rust port of the HTML generator though.)

    This is unfortunate, but it mostly applies to built-in types (since they don't have a declaration anywhere). Types that are defined entirely in libraries do have their trait implementations explicitly listed, e.g. http://seld.be/rustdoc/master/extra/dlist/struct.DList.html#...

    Looks great, but it should be easier to get back to the front page http://seld.be/rustdoc/master/index.html I had to look at all links (tutorial, manual, documentation, ...) and guess which is the right one.
