Let me repeat it more clear than I did it the last time: I see no
incentive for me to check this new feature for sanity:
a) I already have code which does what users want,
b) IMO, the probability that the Emacs code does WUW is not
overwhelming;
c) The code in "a" has many more features than what etags will ever
have (per old discussions of me with RMS about merging imenu-go
into etags).
Hope this helps,
Ilya
