Main changes: - Replace current HTML anchor generation to match header anchor generation in Github markdown. - Remove unnecessary double namespacing on generated anchors/links (E.G. `esm.md#loaders` instead of `esm.md#esm_loaders`). - Anchors/links are automatically prefixed with their respective modules when concatenated for usage in `all.html`. Benefits: - All anchor links within and between markdown API docs actually work. - Adding new anchor links no longer requires contributors to generate the HTML docs first to look up the correct anchors. - Anchors are much shorter. - All previous anchor links are preserved by generating hidden legacy anchors.

Stability index
Throughout the documentation are indications of a section's stability. Some APIs are so proven and so relied upon that they are unlikely to ever change at all. Others are brand new and experimental, or known to be hazardous.
The stability indices are as follows:
Stability: 0 - Deprecated. The feature may emit warnings. Backward compatibility is not guaranteed.
Stability: 1 - Experimental. The feature is not subject to Semantic Versioning rules. Non-backward compatible changes or removal may occur in any future release. Use of the feature is not recommended in production environments.
Stability: 2 - Stable. Compatibility with the npm ecosystem is a high priority.
Stability: 3 - Legacy. The feature is no longer recommended for use. While it likely will not be removed, and is still covered by semantic-versioning guarantees, use of the feature should be avoided.
Use caution when making use of Experimental features, particularly within modules. Users may not be aware that experimental features are being used. Bugs or behavior changes may surprise users when Experimental API modifications occur. To avoid surprises, use of an Experimental feature may need a command-line flag. Experimental features may also emit a warning.
Stability overview
JSON output
Every .html document has a corresponding .json document. This is for IDEs
and other utilities that consume the documentation.
System calls and man pages
Node.js functions which wrap a system call will document that. The docs link to the corresponding man pages which describe how the system call works.
Most Unix system calls have Windows analogues. Still, behavior differences may be unavoidable.
