I don't know, never saw the need? And it might be non-trivial to 
implement in many cases.

The identifier name that was searched for might not even appear in the 
list verbatim.

Like, the user could have searched for the qualified name, but the line 
only contains its "local" name. Or the user might have searched for an 
alias. Similarly, it won't be in the definition's file.
