Which status bar are you talking about here? I was actually thinking that it 
might be nice to add some UI that would behave like a combo box and 
provide one of the following two items:

- other open files
- other functions in the same file

For the global status bar, I have some other ideas for that as well, but it'll 
take me a few days to turn them into something concrete to present.
