Kevin Rodgers provided a very nice roundup; can it replace this
cryptic paragraph?

Again, sorry that I was not clear enough. On the contrary, I'm very
glad that finally, after more than a decade of bitching (while having
the working code available!) this feature is finally available in the
standard distribution. A lot of thanks for including it!
So my "gaping hole" comment is due to my illiteracy.
All that I said is that
a) I have no incentive to check whether the Emacs 21.4
implementation is sane; and
b) that my prior experience does not allow for a lot of hope in "a"
(I remember there was *some* tricky stuff to code in imenu-go;
but the only thing which immeditely jumps to mind is not related
to return-back functionality; so, contrary to what I wrote, it is
quite possible that there is no pitfall to avoid...).
Hope this helps,
Ilya
P.S. Now, when End key finally does what users want, and there is a
way to invert jump-to-tag, what about "the other stuff"? What
immediately comes to mind is "redo" functionality. Is it
available in 21.4?
