Hi Milian, thanks for the feedback.

2. Maybe "Parser settings", then?
3. Yes we can, but that config page called "Custom Defines and Includes". Adding parser arguments there will be a bit confusing imo.
So I'm actually thinking about moving all that logic regarding language standards to kdev-clang, and exposing the CompilerProvider through DaIM - to set language standard to compilers.
5. Most of the time you change standard (e.g. the project you work on isn't c++11). We could use just the line edit to do it, but not everyone knows how to set the standard there manually, also it's easy to misspell.
Actually I'm thinking about adding default and advanced modes. Where the combobox is visible in the default mode, and the lineedit in the advanced mode.
7. More stuff can be added later on...
8. You mean something like adding tabs dynamically to the "Language Support" config page based on loaded language plugins?

This is called once per parse session. Still I don't get what's wrong with it and what should be added to the TODO note?
