Re: Ex. Ctags adapted to Zsh

[Sebastian Gniazdowski <sgniazdowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I've modified Emacs tag file output to be easier to parse with Zsh.
I've tagged the still-conforming ctags source with tag
"conforming_ctags". It produces normal Emacs tags:

https://github.com/psprint/zcommodore/releases/tag/conforming_ctags

If I would ever further extend Sh languages parsing or apply other
general patches, I will backport them to branch conforming_ctags_b

Best regards,
Sebastian Gniazdowski
