Description:
The EXPLAIN output documentation page is very long and contains several parts about individual columns in the EXPLAIN output. It would be nice if these parts would be linkable. External tools (like Adminer) could then link to the description of each column.

How to repeat:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/explain-output.html#explain-output-possible_keys

Suggested fix:
I'll attach a patch.
