[Geany-Devel] [FT-plugins] Proposed "Features"

[Lex Trotman]

> I love Lex's ADL example, C++ can seem just crazy :)

Crazy like a Fox, makes the compiler near impossible, but makes lots
of stuff "just work" :)

So a much simpler example then (using C syntax to explain since we all
know it, but could be any language):

int a;
{
    first_piece_of_code_using_a...
    float a;
    second_piece_of_code_using_a ....
}

For C/C++ the first piece of code will see `a` as an int and the
second piece of code will see `a` as a float, but there are languages
(Julia for one) where both pieces of code will see `a` as a float.
Again you need language specific knowledge to lookup `a` in the first
piece of code.

Cheers
Lex
