That's intentional, though. When we report references, we deliberately leave
out information on where it's coming from - otherwise it's hard to encode it.
However, if we really need that, we could also pass a `NamedDecl*` when
reporting declarations (that would mean a slightly different interface, though).
We still have some complexity budget in `findExplicitReferences` and we should
probably spend it here.
OTOH, adding more stuff will probably bloat it too much, I hope we'll stop
there... There will still be cases when one would have to write a separate AST
traversal to do more complicated stuff. It's unfortunate that this is twice as
expensive, but it shouldn't matter in most cases (e.g. when running inside
`Tweak::apply`)
I'd suggest we keep this patch with `IsDecl` flag, but happy to look into your
use-case with `using namespaces` more closely...
