bug#20629: Fwd: bug#20703: 24.4; Stack overflow in regexp matcher

[Francesco Potortì]

This unrelated bug report contains interesting info: maybe what I and
others have assumed is not true and optimising the size of the TAGS file
is still a worthwhile objective.

If it is indeed important to optimise for size, and if it is important
to have tag names both fully qualified and unqualified, then one should
consider augmenting the TAGS syntax with an arbitrary number of names
per tag.
