request for addition to administative field to Synopsis

Hello, As I've worked on smart linking, I've found some gaps in the spec, often of the variety of "obvious" parts that should largely work the same as Perl 5. For example, "say" was formally spec'ed until recently, or "print" for that matter. I have a suggestion which I believe make the docs mo

Index of terms

It would be useful to have a consolidated global index into the synopses, etc. Also, I noticed in a thread someone asked a question that arose because some topics are covered in more than one synopsis. This problem might eased if a single index had links for all documents in a single place.
