Each type of interface browser has its own advantages. It would be useful to
have both.

Another advantage of a browser which processes the source code rather than
the symbol file is that the format of consts could be retained e.g. if the
source code is:

CONST
  ch1* = 'A';
  ch2* = 41X;
  ch3* = CHR(65);

  i1* = 0FFFFFFFFH;
  i2* = -1;
  i3* = ORD(ch1) - ORD('B');

... currently the BB Browser gives you:

CONST
  ch1 = "A";
  ch2 = "A";
  ch3 = "A";
  i1 = -1;
  i2 = -1;
  i3 = -1;
