Beware of cats on keyboards; you never know what they'll type.  ;)

Great job!

The only downside is that it's dependent on Rev's XML library so it 
can't be used in the MC IDE, but perhaps I can make a variant of it for 
that.

Some of us who work on the MC IDE project made a lightweight Dictionary 
shell some time ago, but I don't think it's been updated for the latest 
format of Rev's docs.  If we can get some assurances the format is now 
stable it would become worthwhile updating it.

But your library is very tempting; perhaps this will motivate me to 
provide a "Rev compatibility" tool to allow their runtime libs to be 
used within MC.

Like your chat tool, another helpful and inspiring creation.  Thanks 
Björnke!
