Yeah, the idea is to avoid :doc: treewide, at least for simple cases.

I'm proposing that we should still keep using:

:doc:`some description <foo>`

for named references, which is still ugly in plain-text, but can be
used to provide a better hyperlink when the docs are converted
into html/LaTeX/pdf, as it would be converted (in html) as:

<a href="foo.html">some description</a>
