I don't think I'd want all variables/symbols to be indexed, but I  
think function and class names might be nice and adding the  
documentation strings might be worthwhile too. It appears I still  
need to learn more about Objective-C although one of Jonathan's  
emails makes me think I could just read the file and make a space  
separated string of the functions and class names and that would  
about take care of it.

If someone who knows more about Objective-C wants to take a stab at  
this feel free as I probably won't get to learning more about  
Objective-C for a couple more months.
