<p>Yes, therefore this PR which aims to improve TM's interface so that it can be up to the task.<br>
We can freely change and improve TM, and do so in backward compatible ways, just as with the rest of Geany.</p>

<p>I'd be surprised if this interface worked well for the libclang backend - I expect its output is something in principle similar to XML DOM tree and you can't capture the tree with a simple array of tags unless you want to give up some information (which I'm afraid will be necessary for e.g. better autocompletion).</p>
