No doubt! :-)

If I recall correctly, one of the initial use cases for the server mode was exactly that. The very first prototype of Stephen Kelly had this feature and could trace were a variable was last modified, make a diff of the CMake state between two locations in a CMake script,...

I didn't look at your code and I'll let the server mode maintainers give their feedback too but I guess the best way to go would be to jump in server mode to add that. Besides, the server mode is especially designed to be IDE friendly.
