Eli, please take a look at TAGS attached to this bug report. Do the 
entries there satisfy the "implicit name" conditions?

etags that comes with Emacs outputs a TAGS file with explicit tags for 
these functions, and that naturally works with find-tag.

But I wonder if the example TAGS (produced by a different program, 
apparently) is also valid. And if so, why Emacs's etags doesn't use the 
implicit tags.
