External packages will be able to extend the functionality included in symbols-view, by providing grammar-specific strategies for navigation to symbols definitions or references
Users will have new functionality allowing them to view references to a symbol and navigate to those references
ctags support in symbols-view will be encapsulated in a provider, allowing for further enhancement of symbols-view in ways that might go beyond what ctags can allow
Possible Drawbacks
Many packages may be directly integrating with symbols-view by activating the package and attempting to use functions that are not part of a public API. Such packages will need to be updated to continue to function correctly.
