I don't think thats a good idea. After all in Kdev4 there may be
multiple classviews open at the same time, which one should be shown?

Hmm, I didn't need it when I started hacking on kdev4, but well I'm
rather looking at some code and if I want to know how a function I
encounter works I jump to it. And then using the navigation to go back
to my last position...

Well, I guess in kdev4 we'd have Code Navigation->(Navigate by Foo,Jump
To Def, Jump To Decl,...)
