I'm glad you like it. I would be happy for it to be included in the core.

Re your followup to this post: I have written a function which takes a tag name
and returns the file where it is found:


(defun get-filename-for-tag (tag)
  "TAG is a string. Search the active TAGS file for a matching tag,
and if found, return a list containing the filename, line number, and
buffer position where the tag is found."
  (unless tags-file-name
    (visit-tags-file-buffer))
  (with-current-buffer (get-file-buffer tags-file-name)
    (beginning-of-buffer)
    (cond
     ;; In the following line, the special characters on either side of
     ;; the %s should be ASCII 127 (^?) and ASCII 1 (^A)
     ((re-search-forward (format "^.*\x7f%s\x01\\([0-9]+\\),\\([0-9]+\\)$"
                                 (regexp-quote tag)) nil t)
      (let ((line (string-to-number (match-string 1)))
            (pos (string-to-number (match-string 2))))
        (cond
         ((re-search-backward "\f\n\\(.*\\),[0-9]+\n")
          (list (match-string 1) line pos))
         (t  ; can't find a file name preceding the matched tag??
          (error "Malformed TAGS file: %s" (buffer-name))))))
      (t  ; tag not found
       nil))))
