Ddoc should be able to generate a table like the two on top of std.algorithm
[1]. This can be done as follows:

* Introduce a new ddoc macro, $(CATEGORY, category_name), that is recognized by
the compiler

* Add the $(CATEGORY) macro to all symbols as appropriate

* For generating the first table ddoc will use the specified $(CATEGORY) and
the symbol name the compiler already knows about

* For the second table it would do the same as above but also include the
summary (first paragraph) from the documentation of the symbol

* If a symbol is missing the $(CATEGORY) macro it's still listed in the table
but not in a category
