Reorganizing the global module index isn't all that straightforward. It is
generated by latex2html. To change its layout would probaly require some
additional markup and mods to latex2html (not a pretty piece of code as I
understand it).
OTOH, I find myself returning to the same module docs over and over again to
look up function arguments, regular expression syntax, that sort of thing.
Having to page down past dozens and dozens of modules I don't care about to
click on "sys" or "datetime" motivated me to write my little hack.
