  - Why implicit tag names are even better
! The purpose of implicit tag names is to reduce the number of tag names
! in a tags file, thus reducing the size of the tags file.  When the user
  looks for a tag, and Emacs founds no explicit tag names that match it,
  Emacs then tries to match the tag with an implicit tag name.  Such a
  match occurs when the tag matches a pattern, subject to the satisfaction

  - Why implicit tag names are even better
! Often tag names are redundant; this happens when the name of a tag is an
! easily guessable substring of the tag pattern.  We define a set of rules
! to decide whether it is possible to deduce the tag name from the pattern,
! and make an unnamed tag in those cases.  The name deduced from the
! pattern of an unnamed tag is the implicit name of that tag.  The use of
! implicit tag names reduces the size of the tags file.  When the user
