Sounds great! > Unlike xrefs, elisp-refs is sexp-oriented, so it always shows full > sexp that matched your search, even if the result is on multiple > lines. Results are also syntax highlighted. xref.el was designed with the hope that it could accommodate "any" tool, so it would be really helpful if you could try and make elisp-refs work via xref.el. And if there's some problem doing so, please report it as a bug so we can improve xref.el. > I hope this package is useful to some of you.
