What if different objects have fields or methods of the same name?

E.g. there is field called 'name' in lots of classes and I want to
find all usage of a name field, but only with certain object types
and there is code like:

   obj->name

?


TAGS files have considerable limitiations compared to techniques 
which actually understand the code.
