;;; COMMENTARY
;;; ----------
;;; This package prints name of function where  your current point is
;;; located in mode line. It assumes that you work with imenu package
;;; and imenu--index-alist is up to date.

;;; KNOWN BUGS
;;; ----------
;;; Really this package shows not  "function where the current  point
;;; is located now", but "nearest   function which defined above  the
;;; current point". So if your current point is  located after end of
;;; function  FOO but before   begin  of function  BAR,  FOO  will be
;;; displayed in mode line.

;;; TODO LIST
;;; ---------
;;;     1. Dependence on imenu package should be removed.  Separate
;;; function determination mechanism should be used to determine the end
;;; of a function as well as the beginning of a function.
;;;     2. This package should be realized with the help of overlay
;;; properties instead of imenu--index-alist variable.

;;; THANKS TO
;;; ---------
;;; Per Abrahamsen   <abraham@iesd.auc.dk>
;;;     Some ideas (inserting  in mode-line,  using of post-command  hook
;;;     and toggling this  mode) have  been   borrowed from  his  package
;;;     column.el
;;; Peter Eisenhauer <pipe@fzi.de>
;;;     Bug fixing in case nested indexes.
;;; Terry Tateyama   <ttt@ursa0.cs.utah.edu>
;;;     Suggestion to use find-file-hooks for first imenu
;;;     index building.
