(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)
There are many ways to search in Emacs, and there's a some packages that
provide structured searching, too. (For instance, to search based on
semantic qualities in the code.)
Given that, I don't think it makes that much sense to extend the `occur'
command itself -- it does the thing it does very well, and extending it
in that way would make an already complex command even more complicated.
So I'm closing this bug report.
