Yep. I was just using the attr as an example. Once we get through the current 
priorities, I'll take a look at the IDL language and see how huge it is, how 
strongly we can reason about which symbols point to what, and so on. That'll 
inform whether we put together an IDL plugin for DXR or just index [some] 
generated files. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the course of that. 
Thanks for the feedback!
