When would that be useful?

It requires support from the compiler/backend, but that should always be
available (presumably you have the compiler if you are editing the
code). So why do you think we can't do precise searches in most cases?
Hmm, maybe you won't have the compiler installed if you are just reading
someone else's code. I'm not sure that's an important use case.
