It seems entirely crazy that encode() and decode() are no longer in the
same section, likewise that convert_from() and convert_to() aren't
documented together anymore.
Awkward, yes. But findable if you know what the categories are.
I suppose there could be 3 different categories: those that input
and output strings, those that input and output binary, and those
that convert -- inputting one data type and outputting another.
Personnaly, I'd be ok with having a separate "conversion function" table,
and also with Tom suggestion to have string functions with "only simple
string" functions, and if any binary appears it is moved into the binary
section.
