ctags

[Francesco Potorti`]

While modernizing etags/ctags, I allowed ctags to have dulicated tags,
and I set the --members option as a default for etags.

Now I ws wondering if we should go a small step farther.

/* The next five default to TRUE for etags, but to FALSE for ctags.  */
static bool typedefs;		/* -t: create tags for C and Ada typedefs */
static bool typedefs_or_cplusplus; /* -T: create tags for C typedefs, level */
				/* 0 struct/enum/union decls, and C++ */
				/* member functions. */
static bool constantypedefs;	/* -d: create tags for C #define, enum */
				/* constants and variables. */
				/* -D: opposite of -d.  Default under ctags. */
static bool globals;		/* create tags for global variables */
static bool members;		/* create tags for C member variables */

Should we have these default to TRUE for ctags also?  Why not?

I don't know, but unless their current settings constitute a bug,
let's not change them now.  This is not the time for new features.
