One forewarning about code browsing: the build process filters the files
under src/, copying them to bld/, which means that if you accidentally
browse (via "symbol-following" features) into bld/*.c and start editing,
any changes will be lost the next time you build. Been there, done that.

Also, many C files under src/ use custom markup (lines starting with @)
which will confuse most C editors (any which do syntax highlighting).
That's only "cosmetic confusion", though - it doesn't break anything.
