Right.  Let me be a bit more specific.  Any time I have to devote to
ASDF between now and a hopefully soon-to-come version 2, is going to be
sucked up in my launchpad backlog (especially the documentation items),
which sadly seems to be monotonically increasing in size.

So if you or someone else on the list were to do that pass over the
initialization arguments and, say, put them into a table with rows for
arguments and columns for, say, source-file, (internal) module, and
system, it would be hugely helpful.

I understand, of course, that you have already contributed hugely to the
project, and you have your own life to lead, so it might well not be
feasible for you.

Best,
Robert
