Thanks. A few high-level comments I have are:
. "jumprel" is not the best name, IMO; something like "related-files"
would be better
. what you call "recipes", i.e. descriptors of how to generate the
name of related files from a given file name, should be documented
in a single doc string, and the other places that use recipes
should reference the symbol whose doc string documents them
(currently, it looks like the documentation is scattered all over
the code and comments, and mainly as examples; there's no single
exhaustive list with descriptions)
. I find no documentation of how to describe alternatives -- several
alternative file names produced from a single original file name
. I wonder whether "recipes" like these are a convenient method of
customizing this facility: do people really find it easy to write
"ordered" property lists for this purpose?
