\fBAuto_mkindex\fR parses the Tcl scripts by sourcing them into a
slave interpreter and monitoring the proc and namespace commands that
are executed. Extensions can use the (undocumented)
auto_mkindex_parser package to register other commands that can
contribute to the auto_load index. You will have to read through
auto.tcl to see how this works.
