Well, it *does* assume you know the name of what you are looking for :-P


however, lets see.  it does know the names of things it can generate 
ranges for.     We havent gotten around to adding an API for querying 
that.  but that would be possible.

It maintains an export list of names it can calculate ranges for (as a 
bitmap). so for your 2 examples,  the export list of the first block 
contains
    _2, index.0_1, and index_5
and in the second case, it would contain
_3, _2, _1, and aChar_8

So even if you had access to the export list, you'd still have to figure 
out which one you wanted so I'm not sure that helps.  But i suppose you 
could go thru the list looking for something interesting.

I have longer term plans to expose/determine the "control names" which 
trigger the branch, and would be  '_2' in the first example and 
'aChar_8' in the second... but that facility is not built yet.
