Incorrect Result reference in core::error.

core::error

Summary

The docs for core::error contain the following passage:

The following are the primary interfaces of the error system and the responsibilities they cover:

• Result (Propagating, Reacting)
• The Error trait (Reporting)

...

The entry for Result links to the docs for core::fmt::Result even though it should actually point to core::result::Result. The docs for std::error, however, do correctly link to std::result::Result in this case, despite using the same markup.

This issue is present on stable, beta, and nightly branches.

My first though was to simply change the link in /library/core/src/error.md from [`Result`] to [`Result`](crate::result::Result). Would this suffice?

If that fixes the issue, please feel free to submit a PR

The specific cause here, by the way, is that core/src/error.rs begins:

#![doc = include_str!("error.md")]
#![stable(feature = "error_in_core", since = "1.81.0")]

use crate::any::TypeId;
use crate::fmt::{Debug, Display, Formatter, Result};

So [Result] is resolved as the imported fmt::Result. The version in std does not import this, and uses the regular Result from the prelude

Yes, I suspected that was the case. It appears I somehow completely missed that use statement.
