Hello, and thanks for all the help with the IntelliJ plugin. The next feature I want to implement is "references". That is, one selects a symbol, and then can go to the location where that symbol was defined (e.g. def, defn, let, etc.). One can also get a list of all the locations where that symbol is referenced. This feature is very nice for navigating code, and is also the core of many automatic refactorings (e.g. "rename").
Implementing references are pretty straightforward in a static language like Java, were all the references are resolved at compile time. However, in a language like Clojure some references get resolved at run time. How do other IDEs handle this? Is there a recommended set of rules for what references can and can not be resolved by the editor? How does one detect a possible non-static reference, or how does one ensure that a reference will always refer to the same location? Note that I need a 100% reliable solution, if I am going to implement automatic refactoring on top of it. No one wants refactoring that messes up the code 5% of the time.
