I had the same idea, but in wiki form, with a clickable map of
characters for the curious.
The idea is basically: categorize by unicode symbols, and then describe
how they're used, in any context.

A command line tool could just do the equivalent of
w3m -dump wiki.perl6.example.com/symbol/*

Third system syndrome? :)

Ultra easy contribution with revision control.

Absolutely!

Yes. Just match individual literal symbols. Someone looking for * should
encounter all uses of *, including ** and **{}.

I had "Decrypt" in mind. (http://decrypt.perl6.nl/*)
