Agrees on this. Sometimes you don't want the tutorial or book, you just want the reference guide of one liners saying what the thing is, at least for the proficient programmer. If I come back to Python from a few months on some C++ project and have to spend 15 minutes looking up how to use their JSON api because I have to dig 90% of the time to find callables the docs fail.

The lack of a Javadoc / Qt ref / cppreference (I love that wiki) module / function list makes just searching for something you know exists and just need the method name a pain in the butt.
