What makes this process so much fun is that I get to see unexpected
things.

For example, pythoncile.py: scan returns a cix which is xml text.  It
looks like the text isn't getting written to the actual database yet
(in ~/home/.codeintel\db\catalogs\python), but that's a nit at
present.

In fact, looking at the value of one of the paths lead me to ~/
home/.codeintel\db\catalogs\python. Files in this directory were
created today, so I know a *huge* amount of cool code has been
working.

LeoUser, aka B.H. is a well known bug fixer.  (He wants to remain
anonymous.  You can probably figure out who he is, but if you do
figure it out, please keep it to yourself :-) Brian has exhorted me
several times to improve my debugging tools.  My present opinion is
that fixing bugs in other people's code is *much* easier than one
might expect.  Just replace mind-numbing code study with exciting
exploration of code using debugging tools.  I'm not kidding.  This is
really fun.

In short, the twin guidelines (no code changes, focus on non-gui code)
have turned what might be a big, dangerous task into a fun romp.  It
might change my life :-)
