It's a bug in anjuta-tags

anjuta-tags -e file.vala

Sorry for confusion here, I was imagining: given a string, whitespace 
may "trail" on both sides of it. But I'm not a native speaker.

Okay, whatever. I get your position. Though I disagree, but we clearly 
have different priorities here: while I'm focusing on a Emacs user, 
you're focusing on technical correctness. I doubt this discussion can 
move anywhere further, let's leave it at it.

Can my 1-st patch from the series be merged though?

Thanks.
