> All right, sounds like this kind of limited guarantees (tags getting out of date occasionally, e.g. when switching branches) is apparently okay.
> 
> See attached the aforementioned related work, with some updates and simplifications (e.g. this version of the patch doesn't require a change to project.el).

> Usage: 'M-x etags-regen-mode' to turn it on (or customize this variable, to have it on from the beginning of each session), then as soon as you use features based on tags (such as M-. or completion) the table should get generated automatically for the current project, and then get updated when files are edited and saved.

> Some features could be added later (such as asynchronous updates or -- someday -- filenotify based invalidations), but I think the current state is useful already.

Wow! This is excellent, worked like a charm on my end.

I’m going to get this set up on a few different machines and take some time to build feedback.

Thank you!
