FWIW, ctags (with etags-select [1]) gives me both of these things
today to an acceptable degree. I'm not arguing we should never have
better IDE integration or anything, just saying that if you want to
make your life easier TODAY, you should consider using ctags. Just run
"make TAGS.vi" or "make TAGS.emacs" to index the standard libraries,
and you can copy the definition file for use on your own projects.
