That's still my main tool for attacking uncomprehensible source
code, including the Linux kernel code which is often padded out a
bit too much by comments describing eg. 101 edge cases that some
driver code is working around. I guess one day I might need an
equivalent that understands Rust for that.

Unfortunately with C++ code it has a good stab at figuring it out
but tends to get lost at exactly the same point I do. Spaces in
filenames also send it completely bananas because it uses the space
character as a field separator internally.
