Subject: 23.1; etags elisp and scheme "=" in names
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:09:59 +1100

If an elisp defun has an "=" char in its name, etags stops at that point
and the TAGS file doesn't have the whole name.  Eg. a foo.el containing

    (defun foo==bar () (message "hi"))

M-. foo==bar gives

    No tags containing foo==bar

The same seems to be true of scheme, eg. a foo.scm containing a similar

    (define foo==bar 123)

The way the tag line comes out means a single "=" at the end of a name,
or any number of them at the start of a name, ends up working, but I
believe it's legal (if unusual) to have them in the middle of a name
too.
