Re: [ELPA] New package: mctags

- If there are multiple matches, you can filter the candidates in candidate window.

- the tags file is automatically created in current project. . BTW, project root is automatically detected if you use git/svn/hg

- if no match found, fallback to `mctags-grep` to grep in current project. So you should always found matched string

- Improvement on performance (for example, ripgrep is automatically used as grep program if installed. GNU grep is fallback grep program)

- tags file could be automatically updated when user save current file. There is algorithm behind
