That's enormously useful. Shouldn't something like that be front and center,
along with a short (i.e. 1-2 page) guide on best practice for searching it
as suggested by others above?

I still think that having something similar to that indexed by musical
concept (rather than programming concept) can be very helpful.

Maybe I'll put my money where my mouth is and take a stab at producing
something like that even if only to demonstrate the concept...  That's an
awfully big document...
