chunk of code that actually uses the symbol. This would be some variant of
the 'Use Selection For find', but as a context menu item.

Task 2: I want to add an item to the context menu that will do the

there are any errors, take me to the place in the source file that contains
the first error. This would be something like the Command-B, but as a
context menu item. Also, when I tried using Command-B, it attempted to build
the code using Xcode. I just want it to run the makefile in a shell and show
me the errors. I would also want to
