Yes, I think they are pretty much done. We probably should have some
mechanism for indicating aliases for functions instead of inserting dummy
entries. And perhaps we should have some sort of grouping indicator as
well. When generating the list of functions automatically it might be
nice to be able to generate an alphabetical listing and also listings that
are grouped and listed alphabetically within each group. ie. a list of
all string functions, for example. Grouping based solely on the filename
the function is defined in isn't all that useful. The grouping should
probably reflect the SGML file where the function is documented. I'll
have a look at these things tomorrow.
