doc enhancement for \headers

is it asking too much to add a full list or table of all the \header
variables supported by default!? this would save users a lot of time
searching for an example/snippet where all of them are shown (actually this
is the 3rd example in 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/creating-titles-headers-and-footers#title-blocks-explained
3.2.1 Creating titles headers and footers . it is not mentioned that all
variables are listed. 

\header is found 75 times in the NR.

imo this would make the NR more a reference than a collection of loosely
connected examples (the examples are still welcome!)

thanks
Eluze


and here is how this could look like:

+++ (right after Title blocks explained or after the Note)

there are 13 variables that can be defined in the \header block and which
will be used by the default header and footnote engraver:

dedication
title
subtitle
subsubtitle
instrument*
poet
composer
meter
arranger
piece**
opus**

tagline
copyright

*  the instrument will be repeated on every page.
** these are printed in a \score when the paper variable print-all-headers
is set to ##f (default)

+++

this list could be enhanced with the position of each item.
