The meanings of "go to definition", "find references" and "complete text

A more idiomatic, Emacs-y API that isn't tied to CEDET, that's friendly 
to third-party packages, and doesn't ask its caller to know the 
intricacies of EDE's object hierarchies.

You're welcome to work on making EDE more flexible, though. We can 
compare progress later.

We can reuse code from EDE, if it fits.
