Currently, it's pretty hard to find information about specific constructs such as type Foo = Bar; in the Reference unless one already knows in which section, and under which subsection it would be. A glossary of keywords, attributes and other relevant things at the end of the Reference would be massively helpful in finding the information.

We have this information in the wiki as the Rusticon. It doesn't see many edits these days, maybe it should live in tree.

I suppose what I was thinking about would be more of an index rather than a glossary, but having both be in the reference would probably be a good idea. It's not easy to find the Rusticon unless one knows it exists.
