I disagree. In fact, most people who use Sage (or Python for that
matter) create an object A of the type they want to do
something with then type A.[tab] and see a list of the
options. One would definitely see "augment" and "stack" among
the 100 or so options, and it's not unlikely they would realize
those functions can be used to augment or stack matrices.
This exactly addresses the problem of there being an easy way to
find functionality, certainly in a better way than it is addressed
in Magma, and it's something a lot of Sage users really appreciate
over other systems.
You could also type
sage: search_src('augment')
and get a list of places in the Sage library where the word augment
appears -- not so easy to use, but potentially very useful.
You can also do:
sage: search_src('victor')
