That's neat!

I assume you're intended for it to be primarily used for user-space  
macros?

What do you think of the idea to add something like this functionality  
to xparse, so that any instance of \DeclareDocumentCommand will  
automatically populate the list? On the other hand, it's nice to have  
an explicit list.

Cheers,
