RE: Tags versus Symbols

[Oviedo Javier-PKJ843]

I guess to sort of answer my own question... using a plug in parser
means that I get the functionality of that parser. I would not be able
to get the reference tag table etc. created using ctags. In anycase,
gtags gives errors when gtags.conf points to exuberant ctags. It
complains that GPATH is corrupted.

Tried investigating where to modify gtags-parser so that structure
elements are considered as tags and not "other" symbols, but got a
little lost.

I'm trying really hard not to give up on GLOBAL. ;-) 

Can someone help me please? Basically need more robust tagging (as
mentioned above) but still be able to get references and grep easily.
