New description:
The following module yields
HaskTagsTest.hs,0
It should have included the identifier a, b, c and d in the TAGS file. My
suggestion would be to remove it from the manual and stop distributing it
or to replace it, since also on real code it is of no help and only wastes
time.
{{{
module Zork where
a = putStrLn "hi"
b = putStrLn "hi"
c = putStrLn "hi"
d = putStrLn "hi"
}}}
Priority should maybe be set to high, since navigating source trees is
simplified via the TAGS files.

Comment:
It was removed from GHC last year:
{{{
Fri May 15 14:57:55 BST 2009 Ian Lynagh <[email protected]>
* Move hasktags out of the GHC repo
Now configure looks for it as an installed program instead.
M ./aclocal.m4 +12
M ./configure.ac +2
M ./ghc.mk -2
M ./mk/config.mk.in -3 +2
R ./utils/hasktags/HaskTags.hs
R ./utils/hasktags/Makefile
R ./utils/hasktags/README
R ./utils/hasktags/ghc.mk
R ./utils/hasktags/hasktags.cabal
R ./utils/hasktags/
}}}
It is now on Hackage: [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hasktags].
The Users Guide needs to be updated; I'll do that.
