I think that you are confusing issues of syntax and symbol resolution.
I'd put the question this way: should the symbol correspond more to an
atomic expression in a given language, or should it be the "name" of the
identifier or atom denoted by the expression.
To give a distant example: in Perl an PHP, you usually declare and use a
variable by prefixing its name with $. Should $ be a symbol constituent?
Both perl-mode and cperl-mode say no.
emacs' notion of symbol is purely syntactic.
And that's the model I'm trying to work in. Again, I'm not trying to
determine qualified names.
Starting with the the
current symbol collection framework you could build a purely syntactic
model of qualified names that should cover a very large set of
contemporary languages.
I'm not sure how you think I could do that.
