Updated by [Elisa Palezzato and Michele Torielli are developing new packages (for the school in Japan) and would like to test the manual entries they wrote.]
Probably the easiest is to append extra files. The syntax could be
ReloadMan(); // for the official manual only ReloadMan(["path1/file1.xml", "path2/file2.xml"]); // official manual + file1 + file2
Forcing the complete reload of all files of interest in one block, instead of just loading the extra files one at a time, allows detecting a duplicate entry(and throw an error).
