I agree, highlighting features serve as a nice-to-have feature, but are not 
crucial (something to keep in mind when you're bored during GSoC).

But let me just say: Great to hear you're up for another round of GSoC!

The 'missing features' set looks already quite comprehensive and there's 
plenty of work to do beyond that. Looking forward to mentor a student working 
on kdev-clang -- I'll also have a lot more time during the summer to be able 
to coordinate the work and do some hacking myself.

PS: Please hand in a proposal based on the paste you just sent, so we can 
decide if there are multiple applications.

Thanks!
