Listing various combinations of functions in the help docs is neither necessary nor feasible IMO, you learn idiomatic use of Julia by reading code (especially see libraries by core team members), writing code, and asking on the list.
I agree that it is hard to search when you don't know what you are searching for, so just ask here. The terseness of my reply was not meant to be impolite.
