It could, I'm sure, but I personally don't think it's necessary.
Frivolous use of ctrl-f, comments, and ctrl-g (go to line number) can make 
navigation pretty smooth.
Just use comments to label sections of code when your naming scheme can't 
keep up, and then just ctrl-f to search for the section of code labeled.
