As a side question, is there an official location to discuss making potential changes to the docs?

I'm speaking about many of the docs, but as an example, in Str type doc, I think it would be useful to have a very short brief of what each entry does. eg:

1. Methods:
    2. routine chomp - removes trailing newlines

If this is wanted, I'd start the process and send PRs. I feel it would help future readers, and if I start this process, it'll allow me to learn very quickly as I'd have to read every single entry (while testing it), and that'd solidify things much faster than reviewing the docs periodically (and missing/not knowing about methods and functions that I don't even know exist).
