New submission from Anthony Bartoli:

>From the library's introduction page:

"This manual is organized “from the inside out:” it first describes the 
built-in data types..."

The library manual first describes built-in functions, not data types. 

After built-in functions, it describes built-in constants, built-in types, and 
built-in exceptions. Lastly, it describes modules grouped by related 
functionality. 

A suggested re-write *for the entire paragraph*:

"The library manual first documents built-in functions, built-in constants, 
built-in types, and built-in exceptions. Then it documents modules grouped by 
related functionality. 

I suggest eliminating the last sentence:

"The ordering of the chapters as well as the ordering of the modules within 
each chapter is roughly from most relevant to least important."

Importance is subjective and parts of the manual are organized alphabetically, 
not by relevance / importance.
