> Hmm... do we still need to skip syscalls?

Yeah, I see what you mean. Since you moved the syscalls in the docs inside
namespaces, there shouldn't be any syscall definitions in the global scope
anymore and therefore we don't need to skip them any longer.

I tried it out here and indeed it works fine without skipping them.

But I wonder if it would be a good safety measure to leave it there anyway. We
never want to cross-reference to syscalls in the global scope, so if we continue
doing that skip, even if someone accidentally adds a syscall definition outside
a c:namespace, this will prevent cross-references to it anyway.

What do you think?
