Yes, that could be, though my recollection is that the opposite was more
common back in the day. I don't know what the current balance might be.
I spent a lot of time pulling in a wide array of taggers to solve this type
of problem. After speedbar I switched to putting them in semantic tags
instead which had more utility than the more focused speedbar feature while
still working fine in speedbar.
