Ned,

BSD cTags does not support -t

The -t option is a no-op for compatibility with previous versions of ctags that 
did not create tags for typedefs, enums, structs and unions by default.

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ctags&sektion=1#end

Gnu GLOBAL aka gtags does not support -t

stephane@sg1 /t/g/gtags> ./gtags -t
./gtags: invalid option -- 't'
Usage: gtags [-ciIOqvw][-d tag-file][-f file][dbpath]
stephane@sg1 /t/g/gtags> ./gtags --version
gtags (GNU GLOBAL) 6.5.4
Copyright (c) 2016 Tama Communications Corporation
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later 

And Exuberant Tags does not support -t

Maybe we can remove it ?

Or I can propose a patch where we try to support the '-t' parameter but this 
one is not defined, just for the compatibility.

Thank you,

Stephane
