This was a long-standing issue in scaladoc: It was unable to
disambiguate between entries with the same name. One example is:
immutable.Seq:
trait Seq[+A] extends Iterable[A] with Seq[A] ...
What's that? Seq extends Seq? No, immutable.Seq extends collection.Seq,
but scaladoc was unable to show that. Now it does, depending on the
template you're in. Prefixes are relative and can go back:
-scala.collection.Seq has subclasses *immutable.Seq* and *mutable.Seq*
-scala.immutable.Seq extends *collection.Seq*
Unfortunately the price we pay for this is high, a 20% slowdown in
scaladoc. This is why there is a new flag called -no-prefixes that
disables the prefixes in front of types.
Btw, it also fixes the notorious "booleanValue: This member is added by
an implicit conversion from Boolean to Boolean ...". That's now
java.lang.Boolean, so it becomes clear.
