Description-en: Fast, high-capacity, identifier database tool
Actually, the term `identifier' is too limiting--`mkid' stores
tokens, be they program identifiers of any form, literal numbers, or
words of human-readable text. Database queries can be issued from the
command-line, or from within emacs, serving as an augmented tags
facility.
