Leo now supports find-def and find-var commands.  They find the definitions 
of classes, defs or vars.

They work as follows:

- Select the word at the cursor, if text is not already selected.
- Save the find settings in effect before the command started.
- find-def sets the search pattern to "class word" or "def word" depending 
on whether word is capitalized.
- find-var sets the search pattern to "word =".
- Set word-find to True
- Start the search at the root position of the outline.

This will find the first definition of the word.  Thereafter, you can use 
F3 (find-next) to find additional definitions.

When the search fails, Leo restores the Find settings to what they were 
previously.

A new setting, @bool find-ignore-duplicates (default False), controls 
whether *any *search command ignores duplicate matches.  Ctrl-F restarts 
searches, clearing a list of vnodes that have already been seen.  Any 
failed search also clears the list of vnodes.

Obviously, this scheme is a bit naive.  The search patterns could be 
improved.  However, even this simple scheme is surprisingly useful.  
Furthermore, these commands have implications that I'll discuss in another 
thread.
