RE: [cdt-dev] Turning off ctags indexer

Well, if we release another indexer next time, it'll be "New" and the Fast
one will no longer be New which could be confusing. Also, PDOM is actually
the index itself and, as such, all indexers write to the PDOM. The
difference with the Fast is that it uses the PDOM during the parse so it
doesn't have to reparse header files which makes it, well, fast...

How about simply "New Indexer" or "PDOM Indexer" ? It may become more
accurate 
over time and then can replace the "Full Indexer" becoming simply the 
"Indexer".
