How to navigate around the source tree?

[Matthew Pickering]

I use `fast-tags` which doesn't look at the hierarchy at all and I'm
not sure what the improvement would be as the names of the modules
would still clash.

If there is some other recommended way to jump to a module then that
would also work for me.
