Maybe so, but:

The question at hand is how Emacs should go from a non-qualified tag
name (because it's a method call in the buffer, and we don't know which
class the object belongs to) to the tag location. Either we use some
implicit matching, or each method tag should have two entries: a
qualified one, and a non-qualified one.
