This patch does not address the indexer : the index is available
just as it was in the CTags version ... this patch is telling 
Search to limit its scope on what to reparse in order to set up
the markers. 

The index only keeps the relationship of where constructs are declared,
defined and referenced on file-scope granularity: Search does the actual 
pinpointing of where these constructs are in the particular translation 
unit.
