The list is usually very short (most of the time, only one candidate),
so the need for sophisticated filtering is quite low.

I understand. It just seemed to me that, if we ignore for the moment
the features for creating/updating TAGS, what's left is very little,
and its contribution to the existing functionality is minor. It
doesn't seem to justify a new package.
Maybe a better way forward is to extend etags.el with a few optional
features.
Anyway, these are just my opinions. I'd be interested to hear from
others.
Thanks.
