Well, the reason for having to manually "correct" some of the tokens was
that some libraries have "hidden" tokens in them - apparently these are
commands that are only called by the library itself, not available to the
user - and I couldn't figure out how to not recognize them as commands when
parsing through the libraries.
And yes (assuming that that the above command number patching was correct)
it would work all the time, unless you changed your library setup. In that
case, you would have to re-parse your libraries again for accurate results.
But again, you would only get accurate results on the specific library setup
you have "customized" it for, by having it parse through your libraries.
The problem is this: The tokenized source has only library/command numbers,
and the command names themselves are inside the actual libraries, which can
(and often do) have different library numbers on different systems...
