Depends what you mean by standard :-) Vim is far more powerful and
better than Vi. I guess that one would perhaps need an extra flag.

I think I'll first make a solution to use gnatxref as-is because then I
get to experiment with what works best. Then I'll see if gnatxref can be
improved. Is it written in Ada?

No not really, but I don't know lisp so I think I would be a bit lost
there. :-)
