gtksourceview retrieve highlighting info

Are there any plans to add a way to retrieve highlighting information from a
sourcebuffer?  I am working on an application in which I am doing syntax
highlighting and undo/redo with a text buffer and I would rather use
gtksourceview but for one issue.  I need to be able to tell wether an iter
is inside of a comment or a string etc and I can't seem to find any way to
get this information out of a source buffer no matter what I try.

Is there a way to do this that I am unaware of or plans to add this sort of
functionality?
(this bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547151 also gave me some
trouble but I could just write my own bracket matcher if I had the
functionalty mentioned above.)

Thank you for your time,
   Soren Berg
