Missing Entries in Nightly ScalaDoc HTML.

Hi,

For a long time the nightly ScalaDoc output has been missing some
classes. Specifically, while it includes Function1 and Function2, it
omits all other FunctionN. The same pattern holds for the TupleN and
ProductN classes.

On the other hand, all 23 AbstractFunctionN classes are included.

I believe this is because there are special cases to omit the
FunctionN, etc, cases. It may be that AbstractFunctionN just doesn't
have a special case for it.

Omitting the boilerplate classes is definitively a feature, it's only a
question of how to communicate their existence. I'd like to meet the
guy who wants to read the docs for Function20 after having mastered
Function1-19. "OK, I hope I'm ready for this... deep breath... time to
have my mind blown!"
