Apparently brew still includes the 5.8 version of this ctags program, so
it fixes a real problem. Dmitry objected to the patch because
supporting this ctags project holds back progress for humanity, which is
true, but since it fixes a problem seen in the wild, I applied it
anyway.
If anybody objects, feel free to revert.
