I agree that the use clause obscures the source of a function.
However I will use it for overloaded operators and for project
wide type definitions.

I use the following script to search the code tree when gps won't work, 
for example on imported code.

#!/bin/bash
key=$1
src=$2

for i in `find $src -type f | gawk '{gsub(" ","###",$0);print $0}'`
   do
   f=`echo $i | gawk '{gsub("###"," ",$0);print $0}'`
   grep -in $key "$f" | gawk -v var="$f" '{print var":"$0}'
   done
