Hello!

Interesting idea...
It seems to me that there's a bug involved with vim losing the tags
database it had loaded. I wish there was a way to get reload tags, anyway.

I'll look into saving the output of taglist(".*") and working with
that. The output of taglist() is a List, not a Dictionary, so I'll need
to convert it. Another issue: taglist() takes regular expressions, so
one can use

proc holds a string...
taglist(proc.".*") and get a list of tags which match proc.*; ie. do
regular expression matching. I'll have to check to see if the tags
database is still retained by a window.

I'll need to figure out how to do that, too.

Regards, and thank you,
Chip Campbell
