it's not about parsing. We already have it. It is about store symbols. Think 
about it. You have your C++ source file parsed.. and now? well now you have 
to store the result of the parser in a suitable form for code completion and 
class browsing(and quick lookup).. I hope you're not thinking to use XML for 
that. The first version of my parser was using XML as intermediate 
representation(3 years ago).. and was stupid and slow. So I wrote Catalog and 
CodeModel. What we should do is to improve Catalog and CodeModel and add 
things like templates, operators, local scope, etc.
