I think there are a fair few, and to make matters worse, no
'open-sourceness' is forced. I don't want to debate the whole
ideological thing** but the fact that you can't peek at the source for
the compiled components will make it harder to search it. I mean, right
now I'm certain that there is no way to do that, and I'm thinking that
making such a way exist for extensions would be a 'hard' problem.
