Well, if Umbrella could have a definition box along with documentation, and if it could print
out the definition for each item and sort items, it would be quite useful ?

Also, if it could understand that you refer to other items inside the definition and change the
names of those items, when you change the name of a class, it would be even more useful.

I agree. The glossary is absoletely neccessary. Not only for other people, but somethimes for
yourself as well, to precisely think what do  you actually mean by that thing.
