Addition :
This repository can be built in the first level by a
csdoc output. The CSDOC already contains much valuable
information. 
A global repository of the CSDOCified code will be a
wealth of data given the right tools to access it.

Some of the better parts of the introspector project
can be hijacked into this. 

Of course none of the unwanted or unsafe interfaces
are needed, because the cs doc presents such a good
starting point.
