The problem with ad-hoc selection is that it adds maintenance burden
(someone has to make a call) and it is inherently subjective.  For
example, I find dis.py source code rather uninspiring while
pickletools.py has a trove of valuable information about pickle
opcodes that is not available elsewhere.

Having the sources on "public display" may help achieving this goal.

A side-bar link may be in addition to the more prominent but less
common "See also" links.  If the source navigation becomes available,
we can also add inconspicuous links to function sectoins that would
take you directly to the function source code.
