Also, we've been at this a couple of months, long enough that what
we're talking about has a kind of ecosystem, so what we have names
for might also be considered here -- what we have names for should
all be in the 7-limit top 32, I'd wager. At least, for the musicians'
list.

Not sure about 7-limit yet, but it certainly was striking in my
spreadsheet that, although Gene provided most of the names, when you
hit the button to sort it bykeenan badness, practically all the named
ones went to the top and the unnamed ones to the bottom.
