Yes. Until now we have two different ways to go:
1. Leave everything as it is. This means that invoking tags-search on
Latex files will not recover the "\bx\b" pattern even if some of the
files contain the "$x = y*z" string, no matter form where you start
the search
2. Apply the change I propose. This means that the search will recover
the desiderd pattern in the usual case of starting the search from a
Latex buffer, but will not recover it if you start the search from a
text buffer
Does anyone have any opinion on the above alternatives, or any
additional alternative to suggest?
