Title: GCC could help CodeCompletion in future

Looks like all the parsing, symbol storage etc. may not be needed anymore. Tom Tromey has started to work on turning GCC into an Incremental Compiler - such approach will require gcc to work as a server.
One of side effect of such architecture is that gcc could also work as an information server for IDEs providing informations about code.
