I definitely agree with this.  They need to be broken down in to 
functionality to make it even remotely easy to find the type of blocks 
you're looking for by searching through the code.  Then we can break the 
documentation up into these categories.

What categories do people think are a comprehensive list?

Even if we don't break the code down into this structure now, because I 
don't know how difficult that will be to completely move everything 
around, we can at least break it down nicely in the documentation.
