Let you find the definition of a function that's not defined yet, thanks
to the use of the TAGS database.

I just suggest it to cover those cases where the user likes the old
etags behavior. I personally preferred using C-h f until now over
etags's M-. because it was more reliable, so I find the new M-. to be
a good change and don't need to fallback to etags's backend.

They don't have to be single-key bindings.
