>     - C-x b foo RET
>       - or any non-Lisp buffer, so that xref picks the etags backend
>     - M-.

> - Try to input a character.
>     - The identifier prompt is interrupted by the etags prompt ("Visit
>       tags table").
> - Try to input a character.
>     - The etags prompt disappears and we're back to the identifier
>       prompt.
> 
> The identifier prompt is replaced with the etags prompt as soon as a
> single character is typed.  While in the etags prompt, one can use
> icomplete commands (e.g. TAB, C-.) as well as C-q CHAR to input
> characters one-by-one.
