rustdoc displays pub use ::foo reexports as pub use {{root}}::foo

[kpreid]

Generate documentation for a crate containing just:

pub use ::std;

then the documentation shows pub use {{root}}::std;, which seems like some implementation detail leaking into the output. Without the leading ::, it shows pub use std; which is more reasonable and what I expected to get.

(Of course, using std here is just for a self-contained example. It originally happened with a normal Cargo dependency crate.)
