Can it work on a specific module? It's the sort of thing that would be cool to 
have in
typerex:  Mouse over a module and have it tell you all the potential exceptions 
that show
up from code in that module!  I bet running it over XAPI would be interesting.

Have you hacked up a vim/typerex module yet, Raphael? :-)
