Some examples:

TODO: do the same for tuples.

1. A slice of parametrized type, say
   BorrowedRef { ... Vector(Generic(T)) }, is rendered as
   "<a href='primitive.slice.html'>&amp;[T]</a>"
2. A slice of other types, say
   BorrowedRef { ... Vector(int) }, is rendered as
   "<a href='primitive.slice.html'>&amp;[</a>
    <a href='primitive.int.html'>int</a>
    <a href='primitive.slice.html'>]</a>"
3. Other cases, say BorrowedRef { ... int }, are
   rendered as same as before:
   "&<a href='primitive.int.html'>int</a>"

Relevant W3C specs:
- http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2.2
  12.2.2 Nested links are illegal
- http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/text-level-semantics.html#the-a-element
  states A tag must not enclose any "interactive contents"
  which include A tags themselves.
