Maybe, but it's much more urgent IMO to review the representation
they describe, since it's all over the place. Ideally do this
before any rename.
Incidentally, I just remembered why breadcrumb-jump uses the
'breadcrumb-region' text property cookie: it's because without it
the current imenu tree structure has no way to for backends to
store locations to non-leaf nodes, which are often among the places
you want to jump to.
text-properties + standard cons trees + "special elements" is a
bit of a ugly mess, but OTOH it works and is backwards compatible
to existing frontends and backends.
So one of the possibilities that whoever conducts this review
may consider is an 'imenu-region' text property similar to
'breadcrumb-region', describe it imenu--index-alist, and
make M-x imenu take advantage of it.
