well, as long as ctags is able to recognize some js then yes, the class 
symbols, members and so on can be displayed on the symbol panel.

I'd need a good C/C++ completion engine to do some serious stuff - the 
current one is nearly useless and it slows down my coding. I've done 
some medium sized projects last year mostly without any good code 
completion - it was a pain.
So the answer is yes, I'd like to put some time on the improvement of 
the completion engine in the coming months.
Clang is the way to go - it already has AST built in and so there's no 
need to reinvent the wheel.
I'd like to know the state of the art of the previous work, and the 
plans you had for it.

Thanks and Regards,
Massimo
