No, my C++ knowledge is much too small for this :(
I wouldn't probably be able to find any troubles,
what simple C++ sources could I use to test this out?

What is the difference between one and two ':' in your above example?
Anyhow, for the moment, only the pascal parser does 
return a non NULL value for parse_for_type function
so ithe onyl point where a problem could arise is the 
supplementary call to make_symbol_completion_list 
at start of location_completer.

Maybe it would be safer to call a special version (to be written)
that would only return something if parser_for_type returns a non zero value.
