I found this interesting: https://diataxis.fr/

Classifies documentation into 4 types

Tutorials: Learning oriented
How-To Guides: Task oriented
Explanation: Understanding oriented
Reference: Information oriented

The Guile Manual is a Reference. Mainly a Reference. There are some
tutorial-like things in it, and some explanations, but not much.

It really would be good to have more non-reference documentation.
