digitalmars.D.learn - Adding Toc for the "longish" spec pages.

It seems to me that some of the language reference/spec pages 
that are somewhat long,
could provide a Toc (Table of contents) which should help users 
see an overview of what's
there and improve the searchability and the navigation of the 
content.
The 'Functions' page has a Toc already.

If you have a suggestion for improving the documentation, please file an issue at https://issues.dlang.org/ Occasionally contributors go fishing for easy issues like that in the issues list and will submit pull requests. Even better, you may want to file a pull request yourself at https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org Mike

Yes, opening an issue or PR is the best way to move things forward. In this case, this is already on my radar and will happen soon (since a couple of weeks we already got a footer pagination). It's pretty ugly because Ddoc is used for dlang.org which makes trivial stuff like this rather complicated :/
