Yes, the work is incomplete. STABS is in better shape.

That would be great, the STABS work is more complete, but it turns out
that this debug information is beeing slowly deprecated, and folks are moving
to dwarf-2.
Note: this is a long .. long term project, the idea is to make the information
participate in the coadunation of CDT, feeding the indexer(or other component)
with info inaccessible from the source parser(AST).
