Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-1224:
-----------------------------------
For many languages, parsing needs to be fuzzy (e.g. for C code, without knowing
the values for conditional compilation, it's impossible to accurately parse
many source files). One quick & dirty approach is to use syntax highlighters,
though the deeper question is what exactly to extract as the text - i.e. what
would Tika return that's different from the (original) text?
