Yes, there is a command line tool 'rbqtapi' that allows you to introspect what 
is in the smoke lib. So you can either use that tool or use the method calls 
it makes to do a custom version of a smoke lib introspector. However, the 
version in the svn isn't quite working - you can give it a class to list its 
methods, but searching on a regular expression doesn't work.
