[wp-docs] Source file links for theme/plugin functions

I was wondering if it were feasible to link to the specific line where a
function is declared when saying "foo function is located in
wp-includes/bar.php". Instead of just linking to
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.2.1/wp-includes/bar.php, go
to the actual destination, and then copy/paste in the link + line number.

For example from get_userdata():

Current source link =
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.2.1/wp-includes/pluggable.php
Proposed source link =
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.2.1/wp-includes/pluggable.php#L94

The #L94 anchor pulls them straight to the start of the comment block for
the function.

Thoughts? Issues that I wasn't around for the first time someone thought
this up?
