Okay. The refman tool for GD is ready to go. This is bug #7341; the
diff is attached to the bug.
In brief, this is a tool to export libraries, modules, and bindings
as an XML file. Once XMLified, it can be run through a documentation
generator like the DITA thing or my NaturalDocs thing. Open Dylan
already has this facility, but there was nothing analogous for
Gwydion Dylan.
I needed to pull a few things out of compiler-main into a separate
library. That should be completely transparent to existing code,
except that a <unit-info>'s unit-name slot is now exported via unit-
info-name.
I assume y'all'll want to check it out before I check it in. :)
I couldn't figure out how to pull a class's superclass from
the .lib.du file, nor how to get the real names of a function's
arguments, but other than that, it works as well as OD's export
facility.
