A couple of ways you may not know, and it might be good to post them
publicly:

1.
$ cd my/nixpkgs && nix-repl .
nix-repl> clang.meta.position
"/path/to/my/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/cc-wrapper/default.nix:274"

2.
We have ctags wrapped with simple regexp that indexes simple 'foo ='
bindings. That has the advantage of integrating smoothly with many editors.

Happy searching!
