And all I've seen are quite inferior to the header file. They are a nice addition and can be used for quick navigation. But it does not diminish the usefulness of the header file.

"Header files" can be generated as well.

You could even make them part of the build, if you want a continuous up to date version.

As I said, a header file will hopefully be logically structured by a human. Something generated by the IDE will not.

That makes a huge difference.
