currently, unidoc renders all path components of a multi-component symbol link, like String/Index. when people try to manually simulate this behavior in DocC, it causes redundant path components to appear in the unidoc-rendered documentation, like String.String.Index.

we should reserve the multi-component rendering feature to unidoc-style (dot-separated) codelinks instead.
