It does help, but I was kind of hoping for something that shows the  
structure.  For example I see 'OpenRight' is an enum, and 'yes' is a  
member of that enum, but they are listed in random order (OpenRight coming  
at the beginning and yes coming at the end).  This is still pretty much  
fail.

I think the compiler needs to change.  See dil for an example of how much  
better it could be. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17101773/doc/dil/main.html

Also I think before descent was abandoned, it added cross-linking, but I'm  
not sure what state that is in (or if it went over to DDT).
