All I meant was that since EUBNF uses simple productions such as=20

--		routine		::=3D "procedure" $pname pdef "end" "procedure"
--					 |  "function" $fname fdef "end" "function"
--					 |  "type" tdef "end" "type"

In theory, at least, it should be reasonably straightforward to detect
when such a rule has been successfully applied (which would be the
very last line of apply(), btw) and call a routine with the required
details to maintain the database, since at that point it has a full
symbol table, global list(s), include file stack etc to work with.

Mind you, it certainly wouldn't be the fastest way...

=46air point, I want an editor with a project sub-component, you want a
project manager with an editor sub-component. That shouldn't
necessarily prevent collaboration on individual components though.
