There is already such an option: --language=none.  If you have both
files that you do want etags to parse for some language and files that
you don't, then either put all the latter at the end of the list and
precede them with --language=none, or wrap each such file name with
"--language=none FILE --language=auto".  This works because --language
takes effect on files specified after it.
