But if we're talking about putting a "definitive list" of them in the
source, we can build that list in a few iterations, with any method we
want (including using Bruce's list as a starting point, some inspection,
some grep/awk/perl, etc). It's not something that will need to be
re-run on a continual basis and produce a definitive list each and every
run.
