** Etags changes.
*** New syntax for regular expressions, multi-line regular expressions.
The syntax --ignore-case-regexp=/REGEX/NAME/ is now undocumented and
retained only for backward compatibility. The new equivalent syntax is
--regex=/REGEX/NAME/i. More generally, it is --regex=/REGEX/NAME/MODS,
where `/NAME' is optional, as usual, and MODS is a string of 0 or more
characters among `i' (ignore case), `m' (multi-line) and `s'
The syntax --ignore-case-regexp=/regex/ is now undocumented and retained

where `/TAGNAME' is optional, as usual, and MODS is a string of 0 or
more characters among `i' (ignore case), `m' (multi-line) and `s'
(single-line). The `m' and `s' modifiers behave as in Perl regular
expressions: `m' allows regexps to match more than one line, while `s'
(which implies `m') means that `.' matches newlines. The ability to

*** Regular expressions can be bound to a given language
The syntax --regex={LANGUAGE}REGEX means that REGEX is used to make tags
only for files of language LANGUAGE, and ignored otherwise. This is
particularly useful when storing regexps in a file.
*** Regular expressions can be read from a file
The --regex=@regexfile option means read the regexps from a file, one
per line. Lines beginning with space or tab are ignored.
*** In Prolog, etags creates tags for rules in addition to predicates.
*** In Perl, packages are tags.
