Re: ctags/etags: rc file?

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

          --options=file
               Read additional options from file. The file should contain one
               option per line. As a special case, if --options=NONE is 
spec$B!>(B
               ified as the first option on the command line, it will disable
               the automatic reading of any configuration options from either
               a file or the environment (see FILES).

But ctags and etags, part of Emacs, do not have this functionality.  I
do not know where this option comes from, but it is exactly what I
would like to see (minus the odd behaviour of --options=NONE, NONE is
a fully legal file name) in etags/ctags.
