After re-reading previous posts on the subject, I had an idea. Let's isolate these functions in the documentation into a separate section following the rest of the builtins.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I was the person that had a use case for intern(), but would be quite happy for it to be in a less prominent position in the docs - though more prominent than apply ... Cheers. Tim Delaney
