Hello Kotlin team, I’m just wondering if you could add a side-bar navigation for your API doc page.

Currently, Kotlin API Doc’s web pages are very long ([Kotlin.collections page](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/), for example) and it is very hard to grasp all the features a library has without a side-bar navigation similar to the one generated by Dokka.

Here is what the side-bar navigation generated by Dokka looks like:

I think it will have a sidebar when the API docs will be built with a new version of Dokka.
