The documentation for function `org-element-parse-buffer' helpfully
directs the user to that of function `org-element-map', but the
documentation for the latter makes no mention of
`org-element-parse-buffer'. It contains lengthy and helpful explanations
of what to do with its `data' parameter, but no hint as to how to obtain
that data.

Sounds reasonable.
Will something like the attached do?

Best,

Thanks Ihor, that's great!

One tiny nit-pick: I think "e.g." is deprecated in favor of the
explicit literal "for example". My source for this is (info "(elisp)
Documentation Tips").

Also, just spotted what I think is a pre-existing typo, "objects
types", which I think should probably be just "object types". Might as
well fix that while we're at it.

Best,
Phil

Fair point, though searching across org-element.el reveals that e.g. is
used in many places. I do not see it as too much of a big deal. Will
just update the patch here.

Fixed.

Applied the new version of the patch onto main as 3996ea99a.

Best,
Ihor
