No, I was just saying you don't *have* to use it. If it fits your
needs - use it. Maybe
David can comment on this.

The problem I was thinking about was not storing a tree structure in
DUChain (that
should perfeclty work), it was the Outline Quick open that doesn't show a tree.

You probably could create a list that contains:
- what you need to store
- when you need to reparse it
- when you need to load it (ie. after kdevelop restart)
- what items you need to find in the structure
And then decide on the storage system to use.
