- But does your tool or anyone elses provide a query language of sorts that
- could be uses to interrogate and extract language attributes from the
- parsed code? Such as superclasses, abstract classes, number of methods
- etc. This way we could build our own tools and integrate them with
- yours. Someone out their should provide this facility for their case tool.

- Cleve.
