Ok, you're right.
in the example I mentionned, the Xref should at least say: "I don't
know". However, it pretends knowing what it does and gives me the wrong
answer. This is a bug. Saying that it didn't know would be a missing
feature, which I could accept. I see that probably you'd have to remove
the Xref completely to prevent giving false answers.

I didn't know there was little (or none at all?) scoping support. I only
guessed :-)

Note: I would not dare asking you to implement it. I rather ask
_if_ you planned to implement it, and heck, this is not the same

The essence of my postings:
Having a good xref is the most important thing for me. I don't care much
about other features, I just want a good xref, and I want you to know
that.

thanks,
tom
