Actually, most IDE's can do that these days.  In fact, that is how one
implements different languages in an IDE, you build a great big language
file of all that data and import it as either a "language" or a "library".

Most will also parse through your PHPDoc statements and give you information
out of there as well.

The problem I always run into is that by the time one does all that, one
could have finished the program. And it is specific to the IDE.

As an example, there are NetBeans libraries for all drupal functions, smarty
functions, and the symphony framework.

You just need to have someone who is highly motivated to make the
file.....which generally means you need to be working in a team where
everyone uses the same IDE and one person is maintaining the library for the
team.
