Can the Symbols panel ignore hits in comments?

Question

Body

Say I click on vec_order() in this file to see usage of this function:
https://github.com/r-lib/vctrs/blob/main/src/order.c

The symbols panel includes anywhere vec_order() is mentioned in comments, interleaved with actual references to it. This is pretty distracting, is there any way to disable that?

In particular, if a language supports tree-sitter backed searches, I feel like it is probably possible to throw these results out? If tree-sitter isn't supported for that language, I understand that a global search for "vec_order" would probably include comments.

I noted that bullet 8 here also mentions this, but it is mixed in with many other suggestions so I thought I'd raise this one separately https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/8997

Not dormant! Still feel like this is highly relevant and would greatly improve the experience for languages backed by tree-sitter
