  So instead of using a well-defined, unambiguous and logical classification
system, we should use some obscure classification method based on someone's
feelings of what a function does (and if he doesn't feel that a function
does anything concrete, it's given a very abstract "other" classification)?

  I'm still not very comfortable.

  I support the idea that in the sections related to a particular thing
(such as strings or floats) there would be a "see also" subsection with
links to functions used for same purposes, but I don't support the idea
of changing the current classification system.
