Thanks Christian !
I downloaded the symbols.js file you pointed at, loaded it in
VIM, and after 10-or-so minutes (of manual labor) I ended up with
symbols.xml sorted alphabetically by symbol name and this is
pretty much what I was looking for. It is not the right way to do
it, I know, but from now on periodically checking the changes in
the spec release notes I can maintain it by myself -I don't
expect a lot of changes here anyway.
Once in XML form I can output VIM-compatible-syntax directly by
way of XSLT and I can do pretty much anything I want with it :)
PS: Is there a way to upload a file here in the forum ? Maybe
someone could make use of it.
