Here is a patch to improve documentation for finding useful, yet newish, functions: 'findInterval' and 'colorRamp'. I think that it is worthwhile to mention these in the 'seealso' section of the similar 'match' and 'palette' documents. I had difficulty finding these functions at first, as they have compound names. Modify the patch as needed.
