Ah, yes. Didn't I mention that I'd like to see property links shortened
as well ? But we can treat that independently, if you want. I guess even
better would be some context-sensitive solution, ie create short links
when in the context of the same class, ie for a link from
gtk_foo_set_bar to Foo:bar, and create full links otherwise. But that
may be a bit harder.
