First off: This is a brilliant general idea, that help text is badly in
need of improvement.

The problem I see is that much of that reads as if it were functionality
that is only externally available.  However, much of the functionality
is natively available and the descriptions may suggest otherwise.  Long
story short, I think this should be further subdivided into sections for
libs that extend functionality in some way and libs that provide
alternatives to existing functionality.
