I'm not aware of such a tool, but I usually open the vapi and search
through it with my text editor.

On a side note if you open the glib vapi
(/usr/share/vala-0.12/vapi/glib-2.0.vapi) and see how read_line is
implemented, you will immediately realize why your vala version of wc
was so slow ;)

Not that I'm aware, but you can try to use ctags:
