Some reflections about stdlib, where it stands and what it could become

The main reason is the documentation. I don’t like how Ford looks and I find it difficult to navigate. It seems to be just gigantic unsorted lists of procedures/modules.

That’s a fair point. Automatically generated FORD docs can be thought of more as a technical documentation of the code, which is different from documentation in the sense of user manuals (as the term “documentation” is often used). @loiseaujc already pointed to more of a manual-style documentation, but it will require some update for more end-user accessibility eventually (as pointed out in the TODO). What may ultimately help with that is the better integration of FORD and sphinx.
