Err, your request moves towards c.c…  nice try ;)

Probably prevents the parser form understanding the declaration.  At
least it would prevent me from understanding it :)

That's probably because the (current) scope completion code is well,
maybe "idiotic" is the word.  But actually I don't know much since I
don't get this code, maybe ask Nick (he was against me replacing it with
a maybe slower version of this that I did understand, so maybe he did
actually understand the current one).

But anyway, I think it tries very hard to show something, and then will
show rubbish for unknown tags.

And don't forget we don't parse local variables, which means we have no
idea what their type is.
