This is extremely gross.
In my opinion, go/doc should also gather up related packages from the unit tests as well. That would be easiest and most concise way to fix reverse dependencies.

Regardless, this is better than the status quo.
Alternatively, we can consider #136.

GoDoc now supports hot linking to specific Go identifiers. Use that feature to enhance the usability of cmp docs. Since cmp lacks a direct dependency on cmpopts, you are forced to use the fully-qualified import path to references identifiers in the cmpopts package. It can future improvements to the go/doc to handle this case, either by rendering the doc with short form, or by detecting the use of cmpopts from the unit tests as well (since those can break circular dependencies).
