Check out the new navigation at
http://erdani.com/d/phobos/std_array.html. The ugly "Jump to" list as
the top gets replaced by a slick drop-down. Once you jump to a name,
you can go back by pressing the up arrow on the right or simply go to
top.
I'm not sure this is an improvement, functionally. Finding the right
item in much faster when you can see all items at once, and not lined up
on only one direction.
Not sure what that's based on, but at least for me that only works up to
a few words. For large modules that's hopeless. Just look at:

Can you really pick up the desired term? I think
http://erdani.com/d/phobos/std_datetime.html is a real improvement over
that (it also reduces the size of the list to the top-level ones, which
helps).
It's an improvement because it shows the top-level symbols only rather than
putting all of the symbols inside of the types at the top level like the
current links do. The fact that it's a drop-down hurts rather than helps.

Probably I'll keep that in and drop the drop-down box.
