I like this idea. Having a list in an NR appendix would be just fine with me. However, it would be difficult to auto-generate a lot of this documentation, because not all of it is defined in LilyPond's internals: grob - LilyPond prob - LilyPond smob - Guile output-def - LilyPond callback - Programming concept simple-closure - Programming concept etc...
