Is automatic variable usage highlight possible ? [message #148377]

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to automatically highlight all
occurrences of a variable in a file, without having to do a Ctrl+Shift+U
manually? Going on more in this direction, the Call Hierarchy view could
be 'active' in that it would show the call hierarchy when one selects
the method declaration name in the text.
Regards,
Sri.

Since computing the call hierarchy is rather expensive, this is only done on
demand (default key binding: Ctrl+Alt+H).
