Change Details

In PHP, this includes methods, constants, and fields inside classes. In particular, I should be able to click on `Zerg::rush()` and be linked to the definition of the method `rush()` inside the class `Zerg`, as opposed to either nothing or a list of all functions anywhere named rush(). (And if I click on `$mystery->meat()`, it should find all methods called `meat()`, since it doesn't know what class to look in.) This obviously can be extended to languages other than PHP. Plan (these are probably annoyingly language-specific; start with PHP; check ctags docs?): - Figure out symbol generation scripts. - Modify syntax highlighter to link methods and such. (Aside: It would also be nice to do symbol search on the fly, to avoid having to run a cron job, but I don't think that's feasible. We could at least scan the changed files whenever a new commit comes in, and regenerate symbols for those files immediately.) (Aside 2: Also fb-specific things, e.g. XHP.)

PHP should be working fully now. Not so much for other languages, since the symbol linking JS is annoyingly language-specific. Maybe later if there's time and interest.
