I don't think we can usefully document this -- because keeping that
documentation up-to-date with both etags and imenu versions would
be too much work.  (And be inaccurate, since people have different etags
versions installed.)

So I think we can just leave this up to the users to decide for
themselves, and I'm therefore closing this bug report.
