   I traced through the docs to find the specific broken links. The main issue is in the ArrayRef docs generated from the impl_ref_types.rs module — cross-references in methods inherited through Deref from ArrayBase resolve to anchors on the ArrayBase page (e.g., #slicing, #method.view) but the same links are broken when rendered on ArrayRef's own page.

   For example:

   • lib.rs:51 — [Slicing](ArrayBase#slicing) works on ArrayBase's page but the equivalent reference on any ArrayRef-scoped doc text doesn't resolve.
   • Any /// doc comment using intra-doc links like [ArrayRef::view] that also reference methods only defined on ArrayBase can render incorrectly.

   I can put together a PR that replaces these with canonical intra-doc links — e.g., replacing bare [Slicing] references with [ArrayBase::slice] or crate::ArrayBase#slicing as appropriate. Let me know if you'd like me to proceed.
