There are a few similar references:
- Color Names
- Emacs Key Bindings
- Memory and Limits
- Operator Precedence
- Regular Expressions Syntax
- Supported Platforms
They're all in the see also lists for related terms (color names is in See
Also of all the color properties, emacs is in See Also for
emacsKeyBindings, memory/limits is in See Also for hasMemory, and so on). I
didn't include listings for these in the main Documentation window (my
mistake), and this is one of the reasons 1.1 will have an index.
It's definitely a good idea to take a look at the See Also list when you're
scanning any topic in the docs. These half-dozen references are the only
things that are available only via See Also - but looking at related terms
and questions will often give you some information about how the term
you're looking at fits into the language, and remind you of terms that may
be more directly applicable to what you want to do.
