 * the member's path); `baseDir` by its own reader ({@link skillBaseDirOf}, `config.skill_base_dir_invalid`). Every entry is
 * screened, a later duplicate of a name included. Each field is read ONCE, BY NAME (an inherited or non-enumerable list counts;
 * a rest copy would drop it). What it returns is plain data in declaration order, first of a name: every member and attachment
 * copied, the two tables read ({@link readSkillTable}: a non-list is one entry that reads as nothing).
