Sure. All those that get pulled in by include directives, imports, or the like.

May be so. But since right now I use a dictionary of annotations (for flexibility),
and since I'm not using 'project' metadata anywhere, I haven't had any use for
this.

Let's not get hung up in such details. The hard part is finishing the C++
frontend, and I'd like to put all available effort there, since without that
working, all the rest will be nothing but hot air.
