    I don't think it does.

    When I tried it it linked to a function if there was one, and only to a
    library if there was no function with the same name.

Yes. I found that works well, in practice. The priority could be changed, of
course, but a function foo in a library foo is generally a tighter focus, so
a better bet on average.

This is the way the code already worked, for dealing with function and
variable names. I just added library names.

As I said, mixes of either function or variable names and library names are
uncommon in *Help* buffers. You might get the occasional foo function or
variable being linked to, instead of foo library, in the `features' list,
but that is not a big problem, because you still end up in the library code
(via one more link, "defined in foo").
