If you're not familiar, TAGS files hold function definition locations for
an entire series of source code files. Once you create the TAGS File
(using command etags) and use M-x visit-tags-table (not required if the
TAGS file is called "TAGS" and in your current directory), you can jump to
any function definition with ESC-. (or whatever the kids today are binding
find-tag to).

Works great.
