That doesn't always equate to "add semantic-mode support", and in many 
cases won't be optimal.

I don't have anything against supporting Semantic more widely, but we 
should understand that it isn't something all users want. And the 
"Semantic is too slow for C++" complaint (e.g. compared to Clang-based 
background process solutions) is unlikely to go away.
