AFAICS, 'etags -Q' doesn't generate explicit tag names for C++ (for 
cases we're currently discussing). Only patterns, to be matched implicitly.

In any case, tag-exact-match-p is designed to be inflexible, so it's not 
something we should change.

This brings us to the third option. Here's what the 'ctags -e 
--extra=+q' output looks like:

x.cc,210
class XXXX1,0
class YYYY8,54
XX::foo()foo16,98
XX::foo()XX::foo16,98
XX::bar()bar22,132
XX::bar()XX::bar22,132
YY::bar()bar28,163
YY::bar()YY::bar28,163
