Interesting, what is missing compared to glimpse?

For me, it has two advantages over glimpse:

a) it is in the debian package repository
b) the same database can be used with the code browser 'seascope'
   which can do nice things by feeding ctags on the fly with data
   from id-utils.

Mileages vary, of course, just wanted to mention it to give pointers.
