and if possible signature extraction as secondary by-product of
the main task.)

Thanks for anything you are able to contribute.  I'm eager to make
use of the thought and energy that you and Lassi have brought to
these ideas.  I've been wanting an index like this for a long
time, and I love the prospect of being able to contribute to
Devdocs.io or something like it, too.

I am a poor judge of how long such things will take, but my
experience is that my own estimates are always underestimates — by
a lot.  Nevertheless, if we're making progress, I'm happy.  If we
order the work by decreasing popularity of SRFI, that will help.
Also, as we gain experience, we'll get faster.  And if we add
basic markup to the SRFI template so that it's easy for authors to
include it, perhaps they will.
