The dictionary structure (aete data structure) doesn't provide for showing
coercions supplied by an Addition. One would have to use a comment in the
suite level, or something.

Or, perhaps a ReadMe file. Jon's Commands does come with one of those, and
it does mention the coercions (in some detail).

Perhaps developers should start putting copies of each of their ReadMe
files into IgnoreMeOnPainOfDeath files. The latter would likely be read
more often than the former.
