Comment (by simonmar):

 Ok, so `:browse!` does something I wasn't expecting: it not only lists the
 entities of the specified module, it tells you about their provenance
 relative to the current context.  Could this "current context" stuff be
 documented a bit more?

 Now that I understand what `:browse!` does, there's something I find
 strange.  The output is printed using the `PrintUnqualified` generated by
 setting the module context to the specified module, and yet we are giving
 information about provenance relative to the ''current'' context.  This
 could be confusing, no?  I'm sure I could construct an example if
 necessary.
