I wouldn't want you to spend too much time thinking about this, though! Mainly, it was a surprise to me. I had transferred some files a long time ago, and they happened to have been upcased somewhere, and I never noticed that they weren't being indexed by etags. One of the confusing things in all this is that the wildcard "*.el" in Windows matches "xxx.EL", too. Not much we can do about that. One simple solution might be to give a warning message in etags for unrecognized extensions, and perhaps files with zero tag entries. If etags had told me that .EL was unrecognized, I would have just renamed the files. By the way, what's the purpose of generating a tag entry for every line of an unrecognized file type? -s
