Hi Martin,

I don't think the "ep" is the right segment for API, because "extension point" is just a technology

Good point.

But with 5 public classes for the consumer API vs. 16 classes for the contribute more implementations API I still want to keep them separated to not confuse people that implement a consumer.

That contribute more implementations API actually is for third-party compiler vendors so they can provide a plugin that understands the compiler specific command-line options and passes these to the indexer through the cmake indexer support plugin. That plugin would then participate in command-line analysis.

The main benefit to introduce that API was to reduce the number of incoming enhancement requests.

WDYT, would participant give a good name for the contribute more implementations API?

Or thirdparty?
