If I'm wrong then I hafta buck up and learn to do things the way they are done. But in this case I'm right -- what's idiosyncratic about wanting full information about a parameter along with it's value? What's ever wrong with complete information?It was not written to "fix" typeset -p; it was written to satisfy your idiosyncratic preferences.
This should absolutely not be done.
Why not? Honest question. DP can of course remain as a stand-alone function, but what would harm if it were bolted in to typeset? No axe to grind here, I have what I want, so I'm just wondering why other's shouldn't have it too. Mind, I suppose core code should not be altered trivially. So, sure, leave it as a function. Devs decision. But I hope the masses get decribe-params one way or another.
