    Description

      The source files generated by -linksource would be much more useful
      if each page contained internal links for all program elements.

      It seems this should be do-able for those program elements
      whose Doc objects we have, and use something like @link for
      those whose Doc objects we don't have.

      Carried to an extreme, this would essentially duplicate
      many links already in the normal HTML pages.
      It could contain the following links:

      - Declarations (return types, argument types, field types)
      - Implementation (types, members)
      - Doc comment tags would not be interpreted, but would have
        links around them: @see, {@link}, {@linkplain), {@inheritDoc}, @throws
      - package statements should link to package.html
      - unsure how to link to overview.html

      I imagine it would only add links, not text, so it would not
      add "Specified by" links (to members in interfaces),
      "Overrides" links (to members in classes), "Implemented interfaces", etc.

      We might want to add an option to suppress these links
      if they increase the size of the entire document (including
      normal javadoc HTML pages) by a substantial amount (say 30%).
