Archaeology of Scala 2 reflect & compiler Scaladocs

There is no longer any link (that I could find) to the reflection and compiler docs for Scala 2.

Last time I tried, I may still have seen a directory listing under 2.13.16, which now serves the library doc.

The full URL still works, so this restriction is only of academic interest, but I note it here.

Fetching these docs is quite slow.

Maybe something got fixed or self-corrected, but

is the current “API Docs” text link and shows all the artifacts.

I looked again just now because of

but I swear I clicked all around earlier and couldn’t find it. I would guess but not swear that “API Docs” was “current” library docs.

I haven’t rebooted my machine or restarted Firefox today or aligned any chakras.

Reflection is slow.

Thanks, I miss the red dot.

Not everyone is aware that The Staircase is visible from space.

I also forgot that “Scala runs on…”, thereby justifying the use of arbitrary commas in documentation.

I had to hop on the library docs yesterday to fresh my memory about how to use Regex – so I was grateful to have contributed some of those docs in, checks watch, 2014. My use case was replacing subpatterns with embedded literal $ (which must be quoted).
