Vim documentation states that ctags won't work w/ vim, and recommends
exuberant-ctags. If ctags does process PL/pgSQL, perhaps that output
could be added to the exuberant-ctags tags file, likely w/ some
processing. I've got exuberant-ctags on a cron, and I think that Vim
also calls it periodically during a Vim session, so I'd also cron ctags
for regular update to the same tags file. To avoid sync problems,
where exuberant-ctags overwrites the ctags content, I'd actually want to
call both tags programs from the a common exuberant-ctags wrapper.
