I don't think his intent was to replace the functionality of
describe. But describe is missing lots of stuff that is otherwise
documented either as comments, as Wolfgang says, or in a separate .usg
file.

Adam> Can you write function to list all loaded packages ?
I could be wrong, but I don't think there's any way to know a package
is loaded. If you load(diag), you just get all the functions and
variables defined, but nothing distinguishing it any other way.
Perhaps we could consider adding a "provide" function like that used
in CL and emacs to indicate something has been loaded/provided?
