Subject: bug#51102: [PATCH] Make speedbar XEmacs compatibility mode obsolete (etags)
Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2021 17:36:04 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Severity: wishlist

The documentation for `speedbar-use-imenu-flag' says:

    (defcustom speedbar-use-imenu-flag t
      "Non-nil means use imenu for file parsing, nil to use etags.
    XEmacs prior to 20.4 doesn't support imenu, therefore the default is to
    use etags instead.  Etags support is not as robust as imenu support."
    :tag "Use Imenu for tags"
    :group 'speedbar
    :type 'boolean)

Is there any reason to keep the etags support around, or should we
install something like the attached patch?
