Yes. This has been renamed, as the old name "List/TOC" was not adequate
(it didn't cover "References", and TOC is too cryptic).

I don't think this is a very good category name. Also I think that
these are all sorts of "lists" that can be grouped together. In German,
we have the general term "Verzeichnisse" which perfectly fits them all
(TOC is "Inhaltsverzeichnis", Bibliography "Literaturverzeichnis", List
of Figure "Abbildungsverzeichnis", Index "Stichwortverzeichnis"). It is
too bad that English (apparently due to some historical contingencies)
distinguishes "lists", "tables" etc. So we need this rather crude entry
for English.

However, I do not think that we should structure the menu based on
English semantics.
