Description
The compiler helpfully provides explanations for most errors. Turning this text into a link to the relevant text would be helpful.
I don't know where this text is online; at worst, you can run rustc, but that seems wasteful.

Research direction
Start by locating how the Rust Playground presents compiler output from rustc, then determine where the online explanations for error codes such as E\d+ are hosted. The work is done when the displayed error code links to its corresponding explanation without disrupting other compiler output.
