| Yes something like that would give all of the information I need :-)

OK, I added the following functions

  SCOPE_ID = __current_scope__ ()

  __dump_symtab_info__ ()
  __dump_symtab_info__ (SCOPE_ID)
  __dump_symtab_info__ ("functions")
  SCOPE_IDS = __dump_symtab_info__ ("scopes")

This took a lot longer than I thought it would (maybe that's why I
punted before).  OTOH, I think I found and fixed a few more bugs in
the symbol table code, so maybe there was some progress.

I'm not sure the interface or format is as useful as it could be.
Feel free to improve it.  I'm done with it for now.
