    I've put it on my ignore list.

    It already does that for derivations (in CML1, define_*). The real problem
    here is that my report generators aren't smart enough to tell when a CML1
    symbol is referenced in a CML1 config but never set. That problem could be
    solved, but it's unusual that I don't think it's worth the effort.

    The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme
    Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the
    fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.
