How much does it cost?

True, but in my view names should always be fully qualified, or renames used.
Without spending money on tools like Apex, ideally it should be as easy as
possible to track down where things come from.

Clearly Apex (and other compilers) rely on a 'project' based approach with
sources being 'registered' to provide this functionality. Although GNAT has
started using project files which presumably allow this, it is still possible to
use GNAT without this project facility and, in these case, searching through the
source (with Emacs extensions :-) is the way to do it.
