Nothing at all. This problem with etags exists already with many other
macros and noone cares.
Are you sure no one cares? When people look for a tag, and it isn't
defined, they will hunt around and find it somehow.
These problems are sloppinesses, and we can avoid them by taking a little
care in defining the macros, or by making etags recognize them specially.
Since noone ever bothered to create those for define-derived-mode and
other such macros, I can't imagine that it's important to do it for
define-alternative which is used just about nowhere.
It's bad in define-derived-mode, too. It's unfortunate
that there is no tag for `...-mode-map'. However, at least
the presence of `mode' will suggest to people where they should look.
There is no comparable word in `web-alternatives' to suggest where
to look.
We could make find-tag know about these cases, so it will find
the tags anyway. That won't even make tag tables do it.
