I've found several missing things and added them. I've also split the list into
groups by function.

There is lots of optimizer stuff without adequate documentation. Here,
optimizer team should provide info.

Some of it is already out there. For instance, could you check out these slides
http://s.petrunia.net/scratch/new-qep-features-in-mariadb-fosdem2011.odp
http://en.oreilly.com/mysql2011/public/schedule/detail/19899
http://en.oreilly.com/mysql2011/public/schedule/detail/20238
and see if they have enough info to document index_merge/sort-intersect and
"Fair choice between index_merge and range"?
