As an opendylan beginner, I often struggle to find the types or functions that I need; I've been resorting to google and the dylan references on the main site, but I feel that this could be improved. For instance, I can have a number of dylan foundry libraries as dependencies of a project of mine, and those don't feature at the official documentation (yet?).
My proposal was to make something that would enable searching the entire "registry base" (by "registry base" I mean all projects that can be seen by the current working registry, not just the dependencies of a project) for a function / method / class; while also giving it's module + library (so we can fix imports as we use functions / types). My initial idea was to make a search by name using regex, but I think it could be useful too to search for signature - ie, all functions that receive or return strings, all members of a class, etc etc.
