You can always decide not to load apidoc configuration files, but leave the 
package around for the API functions.

If I have the right of an edict, I am practicing it now! The old introspector 
code is not coming back. It is rediculous to maintain two introspection APIs. 

The only compromize I am willing to make is that the introspector view is 
moved to a separate configuration file, so that you can load the introspector 
view independent of the rest of API doc. I do not even care, if the 
introspector code shows more information than the one Fred checked in last 
night. So there are options to get back what you want, but it will not be by 
bringing the introspector package back.
