(I looked for existing bugs but found none pertaining only to dmd/ddoc itself,
hence this new one).

Currently anchor links are generated for Phobos using DDOC_PSYMBOL in std.ddoc:

DDOC_PSYMBOL = <a name="$0"></a><span class="ddoc_psymbol">$0</span>

Unfortunately there is no way to get the 'qualified' name e.g. of a member or
method. Consequently there are anchor collisions such as enum EditOp.remove
instead of free function remove():

DDoc should provide a way to get qualified symbol names suitable for anchor
links.

I have a pull request almost ready to address this.
