I want an index of identifiers, which could be restricted to function
names. Afterwards, I want to be able to run some program on the command
line with some form of regular expression containing nested ands and ors,
and to receive a list of relevant files. I recall that some tools provide
an API, but no command line interface. Perhaps such an API could be used
directly from ocaml, which has the ability to call foreign functions, but
I haven't looked into it.
