Good point, well spotted. This mode should be persisted in the
database(s) on a per file basis.

How difficult would it be to implement a new, incremental "--add"
option like this:

# Adds specified files in old K&R mode
gtags -f "K&R fileset"

# Adds in new ANSI mode all files not already known 
GTAGSANSI=1 gtags  --add
