FWIW, I *really* like how the extra markup renders in a browser, and I
don't think I'm the only one.

The thing is, I write code in a text editor, not a browser. When a
header file says: read Documentation/foo I do 'gf' and that file gets
opened in a buffer.

Needing a browser is a fail.

If you want to read .rst files in a terminal, I would suggest using
something like this:

$ pandoc -t plain Documentation/core-api/atomic_ops.rst | less

That doesn't help me with people sending me that abysmal shite in diff
format.
