Well, as you mention, geiser's modus operandi is very different from
that of a text search using TAGS, and thus the two kinds of lookups are
so qualitatively different that i'm hesitant to conflate both in a
single command.  Of course "fallback to TAGs" could be a configurable
flag, so maybe it could be provided that way.

Does anyone else have a take on this?
