+*** In DOS, etags looks for file.cgz if it cannot find file.c.

+*** New option --ignore-case-regex is an alternative to --regex.  It is now
+possible to bind a regexp to a language, by prepending the regexp with
+{lang}, where lang is one of the languages that `etags --help' prints out.
+This feature is useful especially for regex files, where each line contains
+a regular expression.  The manual contains details.
+
+*** In C and derived languages, etags creates tags for function
+declarations when given the --declarations option.
+
+*** In C++, tags are created for "operator".  The tags have the form
+"operator+", without spaces between the keyword and the operator.

+*** New language Ada: tags are functions, procedures, packages, tasks, and
+types.
+
+*** In Fortran, procedure is no more tagged.

+*** In Java, tags are created for "interface".
