I doubt it will ever happen but if anybody thinks it is really bad we can keep the original format of vim tags too. Then e.g. :ctags would generate tags with line numbers and :ctags! would generate tags with search expressions.
See above for other things that can go wrong with search-based tags, so I'd prefer to have both options. Ok, I can add it. Generating line numbers instead of search patterns will be quicker too. For big projects, the time difference may be noticeable. So what about UI? :ctags would generate tags with line numbers and :ctags! would generate tags with search patterns? Or will we add an argument to :ctags to specify what kind of tags we want? This option would break ghci UI backward compatibility.
Bump! Looks like nobody cares enough to respond. Do we have at least a "general agreement" of two for :ctags[!] user interface? Is "general agreement" of two and nobody caring enough to respond good enough for a merge? If nobody responds to this I'll assume there is no general agreement and I'll maintain the patch only for myself. Peter.
