I'm having trouble making sense of this comment.  There will always be
some who don't use Leo :-)

That's certainly reasonable.  @auto is my main way of studying other
people's code.  I typically convert to @file, thereby injecting
sentinels, but that doesn't matter because I never push the changed
code. Improvements in @auto really speed the initial conversion to
@file, which can be a major convenience.

If the source file is slowly changing @shadow already does what you
want.  The private files contain sentinels, so you get everything
@file gives you, including gnx's, clone links and uA's.

In short, improving @auto and @shadow will always pay dividends.  This
is, in fact, the real take-away message from this entire thread!

HTH.
