So it would be neccessary to type `Classname::length` to find it?  

Thats possibly useful, but just manually duplicates what `right click->goto symbol definition` does.  Ok it helps if I don't have a use of `length` in front of me, but then why would I be searching for it?

For the Treebrowser, its a plugin, so I don't care what you do, I think the idea of having a second rate filemanager embedded in an IDE is silly and don't use it.  You should open a linked issue on geany-plugins for discussions about it, rather than here.

Attempts to keep the Glib dependency low will probably cease (for a while) when GTK2 is dropped, but thats still far into the future.
