 Dan,

 I hope that you're the right guy to get this, if not I suppose that bug-gnu-emacs'
reader will ship this on.

 It would be nice if TAGS would try and guess what you wanted to see
with M-. Perhaps a REGEXP could be put in a hook on a major mode dependent
variable to do this.  For example, if "." is my cursor in "(foo (bar x
(* 3 x)) . (bax)) I'd love M-. to default to "foo". 

 Second, I'd like to see M-. search the tags in a closest match first manner.
If I have two tags, "P" and "P-FOO" and I do a M-. on "P" I'd like to see the
"P" tag first, as it is an exact (or closer fit).

 Finally, I'm curious about how you are going to build an extendable ETAGS.

 Thanks, Brian
