[Therion] Topparser response

[Andrew Atkinson]

okay, yep I see your logic, and it is probably better than mine, but I
have historic features like no suffix on my plan files, because I
started the project without them.

I think I can reasonably easily implement what you are doing, and will
try to quickly, as it is exemplar.

Maps: I did not realise you could create outside of a survey, as I
thought this was how it inherited its name, map at survey and have had no
reason to try. I tend just to have a map in the main th file to just
just that part of the data set, this then allows people to check it
works. (yes I know that if you do not put a map in everything is
exported) Then people who are new to therion can run just the bit that
they have produced, and all they need to do is add an include, the map
and equates to the parent file and they have added there bit.

I am not sure where you would write a map in an automatic system if it
was not there? I do not want to use this program to edit files that
already exist automatically that leads to madness.
Anyway if you have a place that you consistently put maps and it is a
new file every time I will try to add it, if you send me an example.

Documentation: so that explanation worked I will do an update or maybe
Graham will, I noticed that the documentation predates the ability to
change the surveyors and explorers.
