+(41) → Expand RBT.action() until we have listed ALL actions there.
+
+      Evaluate at some point in the future when this will be
+      achieved.
+
+      ^^^ continue here. All bin/ files are now executable, since as
+      of September 2022. But we probably should add even more
+      actions here, in particular several troublemaking
+      steps within RBT::Compile.
+      Then also look at menu.rb of class RBT::Compile to see which
+      individual tasks can be made "actionable" still.
+      Once that is all done, perhaps in 2023 or so,
+      remove this todo entry here.
+      Ok, bin/ is now complete, we must go through menu() still
+      and see.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+(1) → Handle these commandline instructions, which originated from the old
+      class RBT::Commandline but are not yet completely ported:

+      that has ... well binutils and so forth
+      from which we can then bootstrap the compile
+      environment, in the event that some error happens
