Playing with the helpers in ns-3-param a little the past couple days,
I'm fairly happy with the setup, names, etc.  One of the guys here
that I've also had experimenting w/ ns-3 was also excited about the
much simpler API as compared to the previous manual scenario
construction.

One comment from him though was that he'd like some list of typeids
that he could easily look at & at least start determining his options.
 Can 90% of them be caught by  grepping the source and outputting to
an HTML list, etc?  While a user could do that themselves, I think
many people will be at the point of wanting to change types w/out yet
being at the point of knowing how they're declared & how to find them.
 Are there more clever schemes in progress for what is ultimately a
documentation task?

Thx
