Yeah, it would be nice to have an option to prioritize whether the 
implementation should be preferred to the declaration or always the 
declaration in the headers.

But the symbols are found even in non-project files, so those files 
could be considered to maybe be part of the project anyway because they 
are in a subdirectory or included as headers in the *.cpp files. So I 
would like to have an option like "Include non-project files in 
subdirectories" or "Always include header files in subdirectories" or 
something like that, and then there would at least be a way to choose 
which behavior is preferred.
