Do widgets support introspection?

[Ali Lloyd]

Brian is correct, this is a temporary use of the lcdoc stuff for script
libraries to contain info that would be contained in its manifest.

Rather than worrying about what information comes from where, it would
probably be best to use the revIDEExtensions function which returns all the
'metadata' associated with extensions (both lcb and lcs). Although
admittedly that doesn't yet contain information about public handlers in
script library extensions.
