I want etags to detect the language, but without the ridiculous 
fallback. Like described in its help output:

    ... If no such sequence is found,
    Fortran is tried first; if no tags are found, C is tried next.

Won't "--language=none" stop it detecting the language based on file 
extension and the sharp-bang declaration?
