imenu is old and rather simplistic.  It parses a buffer, then stores the
results in an association list.  It then uses the function assoc on that
list to get "the" match.  What we could do with is a function which gets
_all_ the matches from an alist, and I've asked on emacs-devel about
this.

Much more modern!

I'm pretty sure it couldn't be.  I think it would involve enhancing
imenu.  The scanning interface to imenu allows just function names to be 
collected.  It doesn't allow anything extra (such as a line number) to
be included into the alist.

I've looked at problems with imenu in C++ Mode before, but got bogged
down without coming up with a workable solution.  There the problem was
identically named methods in different classes, or something like that.

So, maybe we can enhance imenu.  But not for Emacs 29.
