GCC could help CodeCompletion in future

[byo]

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.
