This is something I've been slowly trying to work on (though it's been
more of a spare-time project for me, since it's such a major
undertaking). The KDevelop parser takes a few shortcuts, and most of
my code attempts have been trying to refactor those parts so I can
actually add the C++0x features. Most of my attempts so far have made
a real mess of the parser code. If you've got better parser knowledge
than me, you might have a better shot at it.
