Checklist
make -j4 test(UNIX), orvcbuild test(Windows) passesThis is an example of tricky doc issues we may have.
When we create too common bottom references, there are two dangers:
Inside the module document, there can be false-positive linkification in function signatures and maybe other places. The linkification in signature deletes
[]square brackets and optional parameters become mandatory. See examples:zlib.createDeflate([options]),zlib.createDeflateRaw([options])and so on.When these references are merged into the
all.html, the[]square brackets deletion is complicated with confusing wrong links. See examples (beware thatall.htmlis a big file):new Agent([options]),new net.Socket([options]),os.userInfo([options]),repl.start([options])etc. which currenty refer tozliboptionclass that is wrong.
