:)

No, I have no fondness for the xref code; it's been dead since before I
started working on the compiler.  I think the only person who ever touched
it was tiemann.  The only reason it has lived so long was the idea that it
might someday serve as the basis for something more useful, but now we have
something more useful (the tree dumper) which isn't based on the xref
stuff, so it can go away.

Rend!  Dismember!  Hack!
