IDE support?

On the subjects of code navigation and DoctorJS as a basis for tools:

>> - Jump to the definition of a method/function.
..
>> - Find all invocations of a method/function.

(note that scoped tags only refer to lexical scoping, not to the combination
of lexical scoping and property lookup that would be required for method
navigation; nevertheless, this is a natural extension of tags navigation)

This is now online in a fork of DoctorJS (this also includes patches to
make jsctags work on Windows):

If you are a Vim user, you'll find a matching Vim script to use this
scoping information for navigation (go to local definition, cycle
through uses in scope) here:

More info and examples in an introductory blog post (if you don't
use Vim, there is a small screencast, so you can get an idea of existing
navigation features and compare them with your requirements):

Hope you'll find this useful!-) And if you happen to know a job
where I could work on this kind of Javascript tooling, let me know;-)

PS. Assuming that some DoctorJS folks are listening here: the DoctorJS
    ticket tracker seems unwatched (not even patches get applied). I do
    hope that this is temporary, and that choosing to build on jsctags was
    a good idea, but it would be nice to get some confirmation.
