I don't think so.
I have a plan to treat new objects like types, variables or so on.
(Please see http://www.tamacom.com/global/plans.html)
To implement it, new parser is needed but tag format need not to be
changed if you need not distinguish the type of object.

Isn't it enough like follows?

% global -x anytype
anytype         10 defs.h #define anytype(x) ...
anytype         55 main.c anytype(int a, int b) {
anytype          5 foo.h  typedef anytype ...
% _

Or do you want to invoke with some option like this?

% global -x --data anytype
% global -x --function anytype
anytype         55 main.c anytype(int a, int b) {
% global -x --typedef anytype
anytype          5 typedef anytype ...

I think such option is needless.

Whose shame? and why?
Sorry but I'm poor at English, so it is help for me to write plainly
like text book for a schoolchild.
