Yes.

Would be nice if it is not a glossary only but contains additional info (e.g. exact usage, restrictions, dependencies, examples). This may be realized by references to an own (wiki) page for each variable which needs more than a one liner.

What's the community opinion? Should we start such an index in the wiki?
