Consider the Emacs src directory. data.c gets me some 100 entries
called "DEFUN", nine called "usage:" and things like "GLOBAL" "in" "nil"
"therefore" "or" (from the ...or (at your option)... header)) "pair"
"zero" in addition to say 20 "useful" entries. buffer.c gets me some 30
"as" three "element" seven "entry", ... For these files one out of
three entries created by `imenu-create-index-function' makes sense.
Moreover, I don't know how to make imenu list global variables in a
consistent way or macro definitions but maybe I'm missing something
here.

We'd have to make imenu aware of Emacs' special "DEFUN" semantics -
probably simple. We'd have to parse the buffer's syntax in order to
skip matches in comments and strings. Simple as well, but will slow
down menu generation and additionally hardened by the fact that
`imenu--generic-function' scans the buffer backwards. Finally, we
should fix variable, macro, enum, union definitions ...
Since no one complained until now I'm not sure whether this should be
done the hard way - `cc-imenu-c++-generic-expression' seems a quite
fragile regexp - so we'll hardly get much feedback when we change this.
It would be far simpler to get tags frome etags and have imenu use them.
