Hi Jiří,

Since you seem to know the TM code pretty well, I wonder if you'd like 
to help me (or tell me how to) add support for tags inside of functions 
for C (and similar languages).

In a lousy attempt at doing this the other night, the first time I ever 
looked at the TM code, I managed to get all the function local variables 
into the Symbol sidebar tree, however, they all end up under the 
"Variables" node lumped all together and also included more than just 
variables (ie. func parameters,etc).  Ideally, I think the symbols 
should end up in the tree nested under the function where they are 
declared in.

FWIW, the change I made to get the symbols in the Symbol treeview was 
here[1] by adding another fall-through case under 'case DECL_ENUM' for 
'case DECL_FUNCTION'.

Any hints or help would be much appreciated.

P.S. Apologies if this has been discussed already, I don't know how to 
search the mailing list archives.
