luis/lichtblau,

Wrt our discussion on yesterday's evening, I think that
REGISTER-DOCUMENTATION should probably become a macro which expands to
symbols in *PACKAGE* only -- in particular, it does not expand to
symbols from the HYPERDOC package so not to impose a runtime dependency.

Essentially that is to restore to the old ways of doing things --
although the API has changed somewhat.

I didn't (and still don't) like the set-some-magic-variables way as an
_interface_ which was the reason I came up with
REGISTER-DOCUMENTATION. It seems to be the right implementation choice,
though.

Are you d'accord?
