Just as we can tag discussions on Elixir Forum, making them more 
searchable, Elixir core's functions should be tagged.

This will make the Hex docs *significantly* more beginner-friendly and will 
give the core team a more systematic way to track the size and scope of the 
kernel.

`@doc` could accept a `:category` tag (I've made a repo 
<https://github.com/English3000/elixir_vocab> *[in progress]* categorizing 
the more commonly used functions from the basic data structure modules).

To make tags even more powerful, you can add an `:equivalents` (or 
`:delegates`) tag which would accept a list of functions that do the same 
thing or something very similar.
