No I didn't! I looked at it for a while, had an internal conflict about
just dropping the lines vs actually doing something with them, imagined
all the work that would go into a more fully-featured parser, then got
distracted and forgot about it.

I still hope that in some distant future we could have a real parser
consuming these buffers. So far as I know the only in-emacs options are
in cedet -- wisent and the other one -- but I've never been able to make
them work. And now it sounds like cedet might not even stay in-tree?

Anyway, I'll make a real todo for dropping the lines, though it seems a
shame...

Eric
