If point is on a token that isn't defined in the current tags file,
M-. gives me an error (look for "Cygwin" further down in this bug
report).  I expect to get a prompt.

Ditto if point is at the "#" of "#include" or "#ifdef".

More broadly, I think the default for xref-prompt-for-identifier is a
usability regression.  When I'm examining code, point is rarely at the
token I want to find the definition for.  So with the default behavior,
I either have to move my hand to the mouse to set point and then move it
back to the keyboard for the "." in M-., or I have to type in a bunch of
navigation keystrokes, or I have to add a C-u prefix.  Either way, the
default behavior is getting in my way, not helping.
