• AST structure, e.g., get the parent, ancestors, children, descendants, or siblings of an AST node.
• Usage, e.g., from reference to [fully qualified name of] definition, from reference to (forward) declaration, from definition to all references.
• (probably) limited to current file, as not all ASTs of all files might fit into memory

• Inheritance, from base class to all derived classes, from derived class to (all) base class(es).
