When I read that, I thought you meant the code in all _loaded_ Lisp libraries. > parsing all the code on `load-path', But this seems to be something entirely different - all the code on disk under all the directories in `load-path'. I don't see why someone would want to do the latter, instead of the former. I, for one, have tons of stuff on my `load-path' that I rarely, if ever, load/use. My `load-path' is just a way to tell Emacs where to look for a library IF I should happen to ask for it. A quick look at the code suggests that you do in fact mean the former. In that case, better not speak of "load path". What you are talking about are the "files that have been loaded in Emacs", as your `elisp-refs--loaded-files' doc string says.
