- * etags.c: Use, together with etags.el, an optimised form of tags,
- which are almost always unnamed. etags.el looks for an explicit
- tag name, then for an implicit one. See make_tag for details.
- The change is both forwards and backwards compatible.
+In short, the "optimised tags" are technically tags using "implicit tag
+names",
+
+ * etags.c: Implement implicit tag names, that is, unnamed tags
+ whose name is automatically deduced by etags.el. The advantage is
+ that there is no explicit tag name in most tags, so the size of
+ the tags file is reduced, yet find-tag is able to do a match as
+ accurate as with named tags. See the comment in make_tag for
+ details.
(make_tag): New function (was the disabled function new_pfnote).
