@link in fetch_feed() isn't generated correctly

Description

This doc part [src] for the fetch_feed() function:

* @param mixed $url URL of feed to retrieve. If an array of URLs, the feeds are merged
* using SimplePie's multifeed feature.
* See also {@link ​http://simplepie.org/wiki/faq/typical_multifeed_gotchas}

generates encoded HTML link

It looks like it treated as @see instead.

I wonder if the See part, in the same line as @link, is confusing the parsing here:

Thanks for the report @birgire!

This issue has been fixed in the Code Reference. It actually stems from a bug I just reported to WP core. A zero width character precedes the URL in the @link for the parameter description, which interferes with how the link was being handled. I removed the character locally for DevHub, and will make a note to manually do so for each future parsing until my patch for core is applied.
