+	Builtins Generator for Lasso 9
+
+	This is the shell script that was used to extract Lasso 9's built-in keywords
+	and generate most of the _lassobuiltins.py file. When run, it creates a file
+	named "lassobuiltins-9.py" containing the types, traits, and methods of the
+	currently-installed version of Lasso 9.
+
+	A partial list of keywords in Lasso 8 can be generated with this code:
+
+	<?LassoScript
+		local('l8tags' = list);
+		iterate(tags_list, local('i'));
+			#l8tags->insert(string_removeleading(#i, -pattern='_global_'));
+		/iterate;
+		#l8tags->sort;
+		iterate(#l8tags, local('i'));
+			string_lowercase(#i)+"<br>";
+		/iterate;
+
+*/
