I did, actually, get excited for a second.

Ok, so that's the function anchors.

So some references to functions are just the name, and xrefs will work fine
for those.

I was thinking that there were references that included parameters, but I'm
not finding any with actual parameter values, so at most we'd lose the "()"
of a reference.

Assuming we want to make the anchors visible, we need a way for people to
discover the anchors we've made, and my thought there is that we make the
first definition a non-xref link to the indexterm just above it. Any
thoughts on what the best way to do that is?
