Unfortunately, at least for me the "one bit of code" was not at all
obvious after reading the CEDET documentation. So while I believe that
any of Global/idutils/cscope would be good enough for the majority of my
use-cases, I wasn't able to make CEDET use any of them (or maybe CEDET
uses them, but I'm not actually invoking cedet with M-.?).
My impression that CEDET/Semantic doesn't lack functionality, but
end-user documentation.
