If you like. But in the Emacs tree, using Grep seems to be fast enough 
already, and its results don't get out of date.

Speaking of ID generation, by default it includes .elc files, so the 
command would need to be something like

mkid --prune=$(find . -name "*.elc")

I don't think so. In any case, you don't need to enable semantic-mode, 
or EDE, to make the search for references work.

You still need to remember to do that. And automating it to update 
before each search wouldn't be a good idea (searches take less than a 
second).
