I guess it depends on where you wanted to see them; I thought it was
strange that in check_foobar I couldn't see what foobar's valid keys
were without scrolling back to the bottom of the file.
Needing to see all the keys for the disparate forms together was not a
case I ran into, but you can always drop this patch for now if you'd
like. I had some more adventurous patches that keeps pushing in this
direction, but I don't know if it's really important. My appetite in
this area has waned since November.
