I think it is a good idea to add some information about "methano-" here.

Missing the point
[edit]We have an article on Methylene group. It is the main source of information on the role of CH2 in organic chemistry. That topic is parallel to those on methyl group and methine group.
The lead ref is to W. Herrmann's article "Methylene bridge" is about the methylene group in organometallic chemistry. Its a thing, and this M-CH2-M thing is wholly distinct from organic chemistry.
So, I am planning to rectify this problem by building up the content introduced by Herrmann's review.
Anyway, some content here is misleading or redundant. e.g., examples of compounds which contain methylene bridges include: mostly compounds that exist as enol-like tautomers!
