I have grouped the views by topic.  What I would like to do next is to
move these view sections to the end of relevant documentation chapters.
Is that going to be an improvement?

Will there be a comprehensive list somewhere? Even if it just lists the views, gives maybe a one-sentence description, and links to the relevant chapter, I would find that helpful sometimes.

I ask because I occasionally find myself wanting a comprehensive list of functions, and as far as I can tell it doesn't exist. I'm hoping to avoid that situation for views.
