I have always been bothered by the fact that the Taglist plugin (while
otherwise great) doesn't display the tags sorted according to their
scope. And since I'm working a lot with C++ these days I wanted to have
something that could actually display the information in such a more
useful way.
My initial plan was to simply extend the Taglist plugin -- I assumed
that would be the easiest option since the rest of the tag handling had
already been done. But since Taglist was written before Vim 7 introduced
lists and dictionaries I found its system of dozens of variables not
exactly intuitive. Another factor was that scopes can be nested, but
implementing that without similarly nesting data structures would
probably be a nightmare. So I decided instead to write a new plugin from
scratch, using the nice data structures provided by Vim 7.
I think the plugin is pretty much done now, there are just a few things
left that would be nice to have later on but are not really essential
right now in my opinion. I'm mentioning it here now before I upload it
to vim.org so that people can have a look at it in case it still has
some bugs (a few limitations are described in the documentation). It
*does* handle things like anonymous structures, so that's not an issue.

And you can get the code from here:

I hope it will be useful to someone.
Cheers,
Jan
