The ctags javascript module, jscript.c, is only 40 lines total and
all the work seems to be done in a single regular expression. So,
if you have the ctags source code, you could take a look at that
regular expression and fix it to match the structure above, or you
could write your own regular expression for that particular case and
put it in ~/.ctags as
--regex-javascript=/<your pattern here>/\1/
You can find out more from 'man ctags' and from
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/, especially
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/EXTENDING.html.
