Yes, unless I am mistaken, ctags has no practical use outside of theC-family language domain.That's difficult to tell for me. However, etags provides ctags support for all languages it knows about. I may be missing something, but I think Mercury would be the first exception. If that's the case, maybe it would be worth adding a comment telling so.
ctags only differs from etags by the fact that its output is Vim-compatible. But it so happens that Mercury has superior in-built support for Vim tagging (the core team use Vim). So ctags would not actually be used by users with Vim-compatibility requirements, they would just use Mercury tagging on Vim.
