Code completion is a great feature, but a first step may be to complete
the C++ parser. It does not parse some C++ stuff, like nested classes,
it misses some attributes and so on.

I borrowed C++ parser from kdevelop and integrated it into kuml and then
I discovered those problems. I found a good Java parser (from
www.antlr.org), but no better C++ parser than this imperfect one in
kdevelop. I know that coding a complete C++ parser is a huge task, but
without it, code completion will not be really usable.

P.S. : Anyway, kdevelop is a very good tool and it satisfies most (if
not all) of my needs in its current state.
