Undo revision 11297 by Adám Brudzewsky (talk) I find this much harder to read. It was ordered by nesting, functions, then other datatypes. Time of first introduction is basically historical accident, is ill-defined (direct def doesn't count for dfns?), and breaks up related pairs like dfns+tacit and complex+big int
