Very good point. So either we limit it to "find def of thing-at-point",
or we need to have a "get thing at point" plus "find def of thing".
Splitting the two is tricky because different backends will want to
represent their "thing" differently, so the thing returned by one
backend's "get thing at point" won't be accepted by the "find def of
thing" of other backends.
Yet, the separation would be useful for things like company-mode
which want to let you jump to the definition of a completion candidate
(i.e. a "tag" which is not in the buffer).
