Find all references (Experimental Version)

[csholmq]

Would be great to have Find all references working. Huge helper in large projects.

Continuing #404 discussion, couldn't something be achieved with cscope (which seems to be the ctags equivalent for references /call hierarchy)?

I like the current lightweight ctags-based approach, as real "intellisense" is often hard to make work on projects using custom build systems, less error-resilient, and slower especially on network filesystems.

We don't use cscope or ctags and are not planning to. We expect the IntelliSense implementation to work.

I was also surprised this feature was not available while trying VSCode again starting today, for the 3rd time in the last 3 years... Given this issue has been opened for over a year, is there a great deal of effort getting it done or is it motivation or priority related? Features like this shouldn't be kicked down the line and I believe the Go project for VSCode has the feature working. Given the length of time this has been opened I just want to make sure this is on developer's minds to get done, with that daily nagging feeling from knowing it's been on the todo list too long.

30 people have thumbs up'd, clearly this issue is important to users.

@nevion We have recently started doing work that is expected to enable the Find All References feature, along with other VS 2017 C++ features that are not currently available, such as comments in hover and parameter help. We don't have an ETA.

@sean-mcmanus 'comments in hover' refer to documentation about certain methods present inside comments or something else? If it's the former, will it be tied to certain style like doxygen or standardese?
