Motivation

Indicate all globally-available builtins (that aren't prefixed with __).
Not sure if I should include builtins in this list since the previous sentence already talks about it?

Built the manual locally and checked these one-by-one to make sure all the links work.
Some aren't documented so there's nothing to link to.
