It's that stuff that guides the reader from one feature to another,
and generally allows the reader to make sense out of a huge pile of
loosely related features.

E.g., when you describe commands that act on buffers, they should be
described in some methodical manner, and the order should make some
sense, and facilitate understanding and memorizing them.
