I donʼt have time for that at the moment, unfortunately

    Eli> How did you search for it?

I use helm, which does subword searching, so

C-h f list dir

since "Iʼm trying to list the contents of a directory, the verb is
'list', the object is 'directory'"

If Iʼd done 'dir files' instead I would have gotten there
quicker. (the same process with 'i' in the elisp info manual leads to
similar results).
