You know, searching for a klist is only an F16 key away.

Or, if you use LPEX, ctrl-f.

Just about any editor can find the klist.  The problem is that you are
suggesting that we remove the klist and scatter the information across
the program instead of just one place.

Standard tenent in coding:  one op, one place, one change.
