Would it be possible and reasonable to generate the sorts section in sdf files implicitly?

The sorts sections are currently not compulsory. Originally, the command-line SDF checker would issue warnings every time you used a sort that was not in the sorts sections, or when you listed a sort in a sorts section that was never used. Writing and maintaining the sorts sections gets tedious, so many people chose not to do it and ignored the warnings. In Spoofax, they’re only used as documentation and as a content completion aid. I hope that answers your question.
