I do not. I don't have the time right now, but looking up the name via Google 
or similar engines might do the trick.

Efficiency does hardly matter nowadays. 1MB of nodelist used to be a huge 
amount of data to search through on a 286 oder 386. But with the computers we 
have today, a simple text-based search even on the raw nodelist would be fast 
enough (actually the whole nodelist compiler-thing is somewhat obsolete now 
imho).
