Hi Aditya,
the module is a replacement for x-set-11 and and tries to solve a few
problem x-set-11 has, like generating a index with all commands used in
the current file.
It provides also a few like generating a index entry without showing
the command in the running text or generating own texts for
envronments, like a setup command for "\startFOO ... \stopFOO" (the
FOO is not a placeholder, you can realy show FOO in the output from
\shortsetup).

This should be wikified.
