There is an old patch in the tracker written before the calltips
feature and conflicting with it

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=520509&group_id=11005&atid=311005

Basically, I created only a light version of it.  A regex search on
each piece of tag looks a bit inefficient.  Although I didn't try, I
would be surprised if it runs fast on anything but very small tag
files.  

If it is only about the name, how about list_tags(mode, file [, stub])?
