This one I don't get - what is the noise you are talking about?  Again,
you shouldn't need :c:func: at all...?

There will surely be functions (and structs) that are not documented;
trying to do them all probably leads to a point of diminishing returns.
But forward progress on the more important ones is always good.

Yes, that is the documentation that will be cross-referenced.

Yes, the automarkup extension runs with any Sphinx build.
