Note to anyone who does not know the C# equivalent to the GDScript linear_to_db or db_to_linear functions:

it's Mathf.LinearToDb or Mathf.DbToLinear. For some reason, the docs mention the GDScript version of the function here, but you'd have to go to a different page to find out. Weird.

The Property Usage Flags for Exported variables is PROPERTY_USAGE_STORAGE + PROPERTY_USAGE_EDITOR + PROPERTY_USAGE_SCRIPT_VARIABLE. I feel like this should be written down in the documentation somewhere.

I don't know if this is correct, but the numbers fit.

"name": "enum_class_property_name",
"class_name": "&"ClassName.EnumClassName"",
"type": TYPE_INT,
"hint": PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM,
"hint_string": "String1:0,String2:1,String3:2",
"usage": PROPERTY_USAGE_CLASS_IS_ENUM + PROPERTY_USAGE_DEFAULT + PROPERTY_USAGE_SCRIPT_VARIABLE #69638

Here is a Desmos graph of the ease function I made: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/fyp62dbiw6.

str_to_var() needs better documentation on usage.

For example, if you want to convert a vector string produced by JSON.stringify() to a vector 3,
str_to_var("Vector3(3,3,3)").

In the GDScript example code for instance_from_id():

var drink = "water"

func _ready():
	var id = get_instance_id()
	var instance = instance_from_id(id)
	print(instance.foo) # Prints "water"

in the last line should be instance.drink not instance.foo

For the wrap(), wrapf() & wrapi() methods, it might be helpful to mention that min is inclusive, but max is exclusive.

max being exclusive is hinted at in the wrapi code example, but I think stating it explicitly could prevent any potential confusion.

The documentation for PROPERTY_HINT_TYPE_STRING is misleading, since it makes heavy use of the % operator; this is invalid since hint strings need to be constant, which is not possible when using the % operator.

I wonder why weakref(obj: Variant) is marked as returning a Variant, whereas (to my understanding), it returns a Weakref object containing the instance, like Weakref<T> weakref<T>(Obj: T) and not T weakref<T>(Obj: T). Of course this cannot be described in GDScript yet.
