If that's what you meant, then: yes, and yes. It's possible to skip the second pass if you're comfortable guessing the generated name of the macro, but that's just one more thing for people to remember, and hunting for it is easier. And yes, whether it's original output or buffer or "clinic file" (I'm trying to deprecate the name "side file", it was a dumb idea), the destination Argument Clinic writes to doesn't dramatically alter what it writes.

Okay, thanks. And I'm happy to call them clinic files. :)
