I think it will be really helpful to make it appropriate for C
projects too -- especially
large ones like the Linux kernel. Slow in-built parser is really a
showstopper for such
a use case. I also pointed out other problems that make it (as in current state)
unsuitable for large C projects:

I hope to submit a GSoC proposal for the same.
