Parser doesn't parse protocol-constrained types

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This gets marked as a syntax error, owing to the id <List> not being parsed as 
a type. I've 
added this in to testLink() in ParseTest, but left the lines commented out (so 
that the tests pass 
at the moment).

See for example

and

Ok, I'll get a fix for this shortly.

I've tested this out, and it looks good.

One comment - the outline shows:

Linked List
 * nextLinkedList : id

Shouldn't the return type shown be id <List> ? A minor thing, but I was more 
interested whether we're 
reporting the type as id <List> or if it's just referring to id.

• Changed state: Verified

That appears to be handled by 
org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.model.CModelBuilder2. 

It looks like we can add a IContributedModelBuilder extension and then 
WorkingCopy
will use parseUsingContributedModelBuilder instead of parseUsingCModelBuilder. 
I can
create a new issue for that.
