RE: [cdt-dev] CElements adapting to IResource

Ok... sorry for the misunderstanding.  I thought you meant you were going
to remove the adaptation for all ICElements.  What you say makes perfect
sense then... my vote is to go for it.

BTW just for reference (you might already know this but can't tell 100%
your intent from your wording), but I seem to recall that the adapter
mechanism isn't too smart and won't know that if you are adaptable to IFile
that IFile is in fact an IResource, and hence the same adapter should work
for IResource.  You have to be separately adaptable to IResource as well,
even if they end up doing the exact same thing ultimately.

Hi Chris,
that's actually what I meant to do. ITranslationUnits shall remain to
be adaptable to IFile, but not ICElements like IFunction, IVariable,
etc.
