I rather had in mind a variable with a few simple values, and a :set
function which would put what's needed into
etags-xref-find-definitions-tag-order. IOW, hide the complexity from
the UI.

Simple values with solve that. For starters, we could use just 2:
'exact' and 'fuzzy'.

Will be solved by having the defcustom under a more descriptive name.
And since this is a "fire escape", it will be needed relatively
rarely. The point is to have it, so we could point users to it.

Yes.
