Subject: Re: [PATCH] Etags support for Mercury -- fix explicit tags for
 existentially-quantified procedures
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 15:53:26 +0200

Well, I suggest adding this to a todo-list, leaving things as they stand 
in the meantime.
There are other features that might be added to this list too, possibly 
higher:
- tag type non 0-arity type constructors (as in inbuilt Vim support);
- tag embedded foreign code (at least for C): there is a lot of embedded 
C in real-world Mercury code;
I'll keep this for the summer vacation.
