modindex is comprehensive but too 'flat'. Sometimes you want to see all
of one object's methods and properties listed together.

I was unaware of pydoc until this thread; its existence seems to be
buried, somewhat. Looking at pydoc.org (assuming that is a good example
of it in use), it looks more like what the original poster and I might
want, but sadly it's still very inconsistent, with many things
undescribed.
