In our great quest of API unification, perhaps we have long forgotten one important candidate

Maybe a more difficult request, but I think it would be very helpful
Right now we have a list of all data.raw prototypes:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Bilk ... 3c1ae7/raw
It's very nice but issue is this document is just plaintext. It can be difficult to search for stuffs without having the advantage of collapsible fields
My plan is to join this document into the existing factorio prototypes API.
For example the "radar" prototype (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/pro ... otype.html) would have a footer listing all instances in vanilla that use the prototype.
What do you think?
I love having everything in one place
EDIT: seems you have already started this process? I just checked out the accumulators page (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/pro ... otype.html)
