(I don't know what the part of the filename before the "." is officially called. I'm referring to that when I use the term "filename prefix.")

There are instances where one header file contains several class declarations that are defined in separate cpp files. It would be nice if the open opposite feature could look at the cursor position and determine if there is a better match for the opposite file than the one with the same filename prefix.

Also, if I have a .h, .cpp, and .inl file with the same filename prefix, it would be nice to cycle between all three. (Granted, this feature may conflict with my previous suggestion.)

I haven't thought through these ideas fully, so I don't know if they'd work well in practice, but the first one happens a lot to me. I hit the open opposite and nothing happens because the filename prefixes don't match.
