[PD] Grokking [declare]

[Mike McGonagle]

I did save the patch, and then reopen it. At the same time, though, I
didn't think about disabling the .pdrc file. I don't really think that
that would have this effect, as I am add more paths to search, on top
of those added by .pdrc.

Peace may sound simple—one beautiful word— but it requires everything
we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal.
—Yehudi Menuhin (1916–1999), musician
