I'd also like to see some testing of that patch on slower computers. The
patch uses os.walk and splitlines to search every line in the Sage
library...on my work computer it's plenty fast, but it's possible that
on some computers it's quite slow. But I have no idea how slow that
might be.

I don't think being slow should hold up the patch, since "works, is
portable, but slow" should always beat "fast but broken/unreliable",
right? :)
