These parsers are optimized for different purposes. fcl-passrc is for parsing like a compiler. It parses everything everytime and has neither functions to alter code nor code completion. codetools is for parsing only needed unit interfaces/implementations and when a file changes, parse only things that have changed. And it provides many code completions. > Here the basics which code tools needs needs to provide: > > 1) Basic identifier completions like function, class, types names etc... > these should be scope sensitive based on the document offset we receive from > LSP.

What do you mean with "context"? Codetools can give you all kind of context.
