Ah but looking at it, I see this:

UnsureType (KDevplatform) is in the 30's area,

PHPs types are in the 50's area

Types, Contexts and Declarations are all stored in the same registrator, 
right? Meaning they must have distinct identities?

What are the limitations for changing the Identities? I expect I'd have to 
increase the DUChain version so that it gets reparsed to prevent crashes?

If so I'd restructure _all_ identities and reserve the first 50 (we already 
have 27) for KDevplatform. Then I'd put the languages there in batches of 10 
(or should I increase that already? Cpp has 7, PHP has 8 custom Identities 
already).
