Should kill(all) reset integration_constant_counter?
Subject: Should kill(all) reset integration_constant_counter?

Documentation says:
`kill (all)' unbinds all items on all infolists. `kill (all)' does
not reset global variables to their default values; see `reset'
on this point.
Function: reset ()
Resets many global variables and options, and some other
variables, to their default values.
So you may want to do (kill(all),reset()) -- which does reset the
integration constant counter among other things. It is annoying that the
syntax of reset isn't consistent with that of kill (reset(all) doesn't do
what you might expect).
