Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] docs/qapi-domain: Improve QAPI indices

Alright, that was a tad long.  Here's the shortest feedback I can give.

Thesis: the prime use case for the index is looking up commands and
events.  See my long reply for why.

Usability baseline: an index page with links "A", ... "Z" at the top,
each linking to a flat list of commands and events starting with that
letter, in case-insensitive alphabetical order.

The longest list is "Q": 83 entries.  Most lists are 20 entries or less.

Whatever index page design we choose, it should not be substantially
worse in usability for the prime use case than this baseline.
