What's this "we" business?  I don't want something quickly. :-)

I'm not dying to add many parser-related features until we have figured
out the C-variant problem : to provide support for comments, we would 
have to add another ParserMode to make sure we did not slow down core 
services (Indexer) that does not care about them.  The cross product 
of ParserModes with C/C++ Variants shall be increasingly difficult 
to test, so I'm not too keen on supporting it until we prove we can 
make, say, the Search feature work.
