Is the idea that you type M-n to bring the current buffer's filename into the minibuffer, and then you type the rest of the command around it? Access to that file name would be useful, but at the same time, this interface would be rather inconvenient to use. This patch corrects a bug in etags that causes completion to only consider the tags in a single TAGS buffer. With the match tag completion will consider tags from all the active TAGS buffers. That seems like a clean extension. I will forward it to the etags maintainer.
