You could use your library to build a replacement for ctags (ctags.sf.net).

ctags supports over 40 languages and uses regexes to do so.
ctags hardly copes with overloading. The user is supposed to choose among overloads.

A compiler based tool should be able to do a lot better. There is a need for such an open source tool in the unix world.
