in thread .dancer -- what's it for

G'day Discipulus,

Thanks for taking the time to dig out this information; unfortunately, it gives vague hints but nothing concrete. I appreciate that you're only reporting what you found; I'm not trying to shoot the messenger in any of the following paragraphs.

It's mentioned as a bug fix; however, I can't find any description of the bug it is supposed to fix. Can you provide a link to the actual bug? I just see #1032 pointing to #1043 and vice versa; I don't see any bug report.

If .dancer is supposed to identify a Dancer app, I'd have thought that .dancer2 would be more appropriate to identify a Dancer2 app.

"There's no reason why we shouldn't generate this file." — fair enough, but what's the reason to generate it?

"It might help move away from the bin/lib directory checks." — what checks? what's wrong with them? why move away from them?
