The current sub-setting and organization is painful because
it doesn't have a comprehensive, linear, alphabetized list

know which "section" to find a given command.  Is it an
Ancillary "manipulator" command?  Or maybe just a "Manipulation"
command, or maybe an "Interrogation" command?  A "Helper"?

I always have to painfully search the page for it instead.
When you are on-line (like your case to read kernel.org webpage), it is
rather easy with ^F (or whatever browser you use lets you search).

But I do agree with you that on printed medium we would want a nice
alphabetized list somewhere.
