Well, the point of the GMI is to lookup whatever module you are
currently having to use for the first time (at least it is for me).
Giving easy access to the modules I've already had to look up (because
they are common) doesn't really help - I've already accessed those.
It'll be nice when I have to find some obscure feature I haven't used
in them before, but really, all I'd like is an easy to use index :)
