Comment (by robe):

 Good catch.  I was also thinking along the lines of referenced by that we
 should have
 an alphabetical index for each type that gives the list of functions that
 outputs or takes as input that type.  We have that for geography already.


 http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-1.5SVN/geography.html

 You think that would bloat the docs too much - probably add another 4
 pages or so?  I think an alphabetical listing would be nice for geometry
 for example because sometimes I forget how we categorize a function and
 just want an alpha listing.  If all think its a good idea I can put that
 in and then have each type reference this respective alphabetical listing
 like we have for geography type already.
