Yeah, I should probably switch to something a little more modern, but 
imenu has the advantage of just being there and working most of the time 
across all machines and shells and stuff.  It definitely gets confused 
occasionally (like it doesn't find inline functions in class 
declarations) but this overload thing seemed like it might be a simple 
fix.


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 guess you could mangle the name to include the line number or match 
number...kinda hacky but it'd work...maybe I'll take a look.
