I read through the function-args readme briefly today, and it looks like 
some nice stuff.

I can see why some of the pieces would be c++ specific.

The usability improvements in this tool are really nice.  If you have an 
assignment w/ the FSF, I would have been happy to provide write access 
and have help getting patches into CEDET, or add features.   Your 
function args package notes that it has improved versions of CEDET 
functions.  I rarely had time to focus on usability of keybindings and 
such, as I usually have my hands full keeping parsers and other 
infrastructure up to date.   If someone has interests in interfaces and 
what kind of data is useful while editing, I'll always be glad to pull 
in those changes, and help keep things language neutral where applicable.
