I agree with you.
Though GLOBAL is built so as not to depend on tacit assumptions as much
as possible, there is no necessity for supporting all the combinations.
I think that a new improvement need not become the victim of needless
flexibility.

How if the following assumption is shared?
o If GRTAGS or GSYMS exists then the both are sure to exist.
o The format of GRTAGS and GSYMS is always the same.
