Cross-referencing can best be done via the internal program
representation (ASIS e.g.). Why is a browser to be preferred to an IDE
like GPS? OK, you can use it without a compiler being present. This
seems like a weak reason. Modern software needs the appropriate tools
to read, and for source code, this is the compiler. Would you try to
browse through a HOOD design or UML model created with some tool with
a browser instead of a dedicated tool?
