OK, got it working (r 634).  Might need to restructure the PHP.plist
at some point though.

Here is another inquiry/idea about Go To Symbol ...
The best thing about Go To File is the incremental search -- to just
start typing and get the file you want.  Can we have this for Go To
Symbol as well?  One idea for implementing this is to add another
parameter (in addition to showInSymbolList) that corresponds to a
capture name.  Say, for example:

iSearchCaptureName = "myCaptureName";

 .... then in the scope rule there could be this:   

captures = { 1 = { name = "myCaptureName"; }; };

Thoughts?
