Not in the case to which the sentence above was alluding.  There you
would have a line

FUNC f::x(a,b) { a /?/ b }

in the .ylag file, but a line

_YLfunc_x__f_(_YLp *a, _YLp *b)

in the generated .c file.  I believe the only way to reasonably handle
this would be _four_ references altogether:  One for each file, and
one for each functionname.  So looking up f::a would get you to the
*.ylag file first, and to the *.c file next (Ok, this would probably
be hard to implement :-), while looking up _YLfunc_x__f_ (why would
anybody want to do that?) would get you to the *.c file first and to
the *.ylag next.  

I guess.  But then, I have no clue about ylag, only web.  And for the
latter _one_ reference (to the *.web) would certainly be enough...
