I don't think I expressed myself very well in the bug report you filed...

The examples for syntax shouldn't use undocumented / ide functions - as it is 
misleading.

The ide functions as yet aren't documented but at some point will be as a 'how 
to write ide components' reference.

However, that being said, there are IDE APIs for accessing all information 
related to widgets so using those is the best approach for such things rather 
than writing bespoke code that processes their form on disk and in XML files.

The best thing to do is to have a look through revidelibrary and 
revideextensionlibrary.

OK. That puts things a bit more into perspective.
I'm still reluctant, though, to rely on using things I've found while poking around in the IDE stacks without having them officially sanctioned unless there's no way around it. Thus my original bug report on that issue. I would worry that the IDE stacks may get refactored and some of the functions I count on have disappeared. I'm not suggesting that every handler in the IDE should be in the dictionary, but I think I'll keep asking for official sanction before committing function xyz to use.
