I find the NEARNESS support to be very helpful in that where one has
multiple definitions of the same token  NEARNESS more often then not find
the definition I am interested in.

I note that NEARNESS feature does not work with -r as "--from-here" does
not support the -r option. Is it possible to extend to get this support? I
have  a system in which I have 10s of definitions of type:

ModuleA_filterThings(){}
ModuleB_filterThings(){}

I call these methods by reference, in code I have something like:

    r->filterThings();

where correct function pointer has been set so that in typically the
"nearest" ModuleX_filterThings() would be correct definition.

At present doing a regex search for "filterThings" does not respect
nearness order, is it too difficult to get this?
