I would also be nice to have an indicator that shows which functions in the 
baseclass are virtual.  Another indicator could show whether the function in 
the derived class is actually overriding a virtual function.  A tool to 
create a skeleton implementation of a pure virtual interface could likewise 
be useful.

Just the ability to modify the function declaration (or definition) in an 
existing class, and have the changes reflected in the corresponding 
definition (or declaration) would be nice.  It might also be possible to 
merge or split a function definition so that one that is defined in the body 
of a class definition could be split into a declaration in the header, and a 
definition in the implementation file.  Keeping comments synchronized with 
the source code could also be helpful.  There are many, many possibilities.
