Ummm. We already loop over the document to output all math macros.
Could we also output all ERT insets? I guess that there'd be an
accounting problem, as some of these ERT insets would generate output
in the dvi file and some would define variables as above. We'd have
to throw away the previews of any ERT.
The important question however is would it work as a solution to
André's unsolvable problem or would it lead to problems of its own?
I'd guess the latter, but I'm no TeXie.
