Indeed, but CEDET does.

The part of CEDET that provides the core to such functionality is called
semantic. Here's the Info description:
,----[ (info "(semantic)Overview") ]
| semantic uses "parsers" to analyze programming language sources. For
| languages that can be described using a context-free grammar, parsers
| can be based on the grammar of the language. Or they can be "external
| parsers" implemented using any means. This allows the use of a
| regular expression parser for non-regular languages, or external
| programs for speed.
|
| semantic provides extensive tools to help support a new language. An
| original LL parser, and a Bison-like LALR parser are included. So,
| for a regular language, all that the developer needs to do is write a
| grammar file along with appropriate semantic rules.
|
| semantic allows an uniform representation of language components, and
| provides a common API so that programmers can develop applications
| that work for all languages. The distribution includes good set of
| tools and examples for the application writers, that demonstrate the
| usefulness of semantic.
`----
So I'd say the core functionality is there.
> If not, what else is needed?
Lots of UI features, but the most important things have been addressed
recently, like persectives, dedicated windows, tabs on windows.
