Yes. In the request index there are names and page numbers, e.g.  
`pnr ............... 168'
If one is looking for a function but does not know the request's  
name,  it takes a long time to find what one wants.
Try this, no, try that, no, try this, yeah.

However, if there was some text between request names and page  
numbers, e.g. `pnr ... print num regs ... 168'
then one's search would be a few secs.
Especially if this text would start with a prefix, e.g. `pnr ... deb:  
print num regs ... 168' with `deb' for debugging.
