Maybe this would be the best option. It would not be possible any more
to jump to the declarations and/or do refactoring on them, but that
would be an acceptable tradeoff. Fight uglyness with uglyness. :)

There currently is no working code to do this inline parsing though.
There might be some remainders of a similar thing from the starting
time of rpp.
