Something like this could help a person cite the programs and/or authors 
that they used, as is encouraged by SAGE (as noted on the citation page, 
which I can never find---is it linked to from the home page?).  As it is 
now, it takes quite a big of digging into the source code and guessing 
to figure out who's responsible for the code that you used.
