I think this is a good idea, but can't resist...

If you used emacs sage-mode, tab complete would bring up a buffer of
completions for X.<tab>, which you could then interactively search
(and regexp search), or run M-x occur to find all occurences, etc.  In
my opinion, this is more flexible and powerful.
