I definitely agree on this point ! Better to have language-related info outside the editor. Steve Yegge has made some reference to his grok project, which aims at providing this kind of support for several programming languages. A public release was somehow planned, but I don't know if the project is still under active development. Not many things about grok on the web, I think the best description is: http://bsumm.net/2012/08/11/steve-yegge-and-grok.html And thanks to all for your remarks ! -- Hugues Evrard
