Just to make things weirder, if you have a file called xx.EL, then currently

  etags xx.el

treats it as Emacs-Lisp, while

  etags xx.EL xx*.el xx*.EL

treat it as C.  Conversely, if you have a file called yy.el, then currently
etags treats yy.EL as C, and the other cases as Emacs-lisp.

Apparently etags is not checking the real name of the file, just what it was
named on the command line.
