Create a map/flow chart of programs based on what you might want to grep, like a structure, function, header, or other piece of text

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

A huge swathe of time is spent doing greps, opening files, looking for references when trying to identify code changes that need to be made, files that need to be rebuilt, or in trying to architect a new solution. To save time, would be wonderful to have a view of the program flow or reference tree, since watson should be able to tell differences between a comment or a header file or a function definition, etc. Normally, grep will come back with a lot of results in a long list with non-obvious hits. It could be a function definition that's been split across lines, or part of a comment, etc. Would save hours of repetitive work where it's easy to make a mistake or overlook a problem because you didn't realize something would be affected. Could save on cases and knowledge acquisition.
