Great, that saves me a lot of work.  I can just hook into it and get the
global list of keywords and the packages which use each one.  Very
useful.  The work then becomes:

1) figure out place to store keywords (symbol plist or global)
2) add :keywords to defun and defvar, etc. as needed
3) figure out keywords for each function (and symbol?) based on package
4) refine and grow the tag space, figure out synonym rings
