Thanks for straightening me out, Viktor. You are as always [or at
least usually:-] right as can be, my utility may be helpful for
finding out which programs consume the more obscure variables, but
for some common variables it isn't useful.

Naturally since I now don't have a starting point for the
(admittedly awfully hard) problem of documenting complete
module<->variable reference maps, I retract the request that
parameter retrieval not be changed until that documentation is
complete:-).
