Re: Navigating an enormous code base

[John Yates]

Start with feeding a completion interface:

* Do you index on demand?  If no, then when?  And how do you
  keep the index upto date?

* Indexing the entire workspace will result in an intractably
  large index.  So how do you partition it?

* Is the user restricted to querying a single partition of the
  index?  If yes, then that feels painfully restrictive.  If no,
  how does that user indicate which partition indices to combine?
  How is combining accomplished?

* How are duplicate filenames handled?

Need I say more?
