Could we revisit this discussion, maybe? Having a Lisp VM at the core of
Emacs means we don't need to use grep for find-definition.

And find-uses can be implemented in a lisp-only namespace-aware
searching function.

Clojure (a rather popular Lisp) uses what sounds to be a similar
packages system, and the popular editing environments implement both
above operations without considerable problems.
