Random thoughts based on things that at times I would really have liked to have.

1) showing all the uses of a particular variable/function/constant

2) Relating the declaration of a variable/function/whatever to a use. And I mean this 
is in a positional sense rather than a type checking sense. But actually seeing type 
information for variables is good too, but I susepct this is a common feature (I tend 
to program in typless languages so only see hints about  function parameters)

3) Some kind of top level view of a program based around the files that it is built up 
from. Not sure what I mean here. (Clearly this is a conventional file system driven 
view of programming and we could postulate "better" ways of storing our code)

4) Going back to 1, a sort of folded view of the code shoing the block structure and 
nothing else except lines that use the variable/function/whatever


More will come to me I'm sure
