Problem: In Ruby we can define a nested module/class the safe
way (in the sense, if the parent module does not exist, it will
define it:
module M
module N
end
end
If M already exists, we can also write:
module M::N; end
With the later notation, the tag generated by etags will be M::N.
When browsing the code, using xref-find-definitions when the point
is on N, will not be able to find the definition of N because the
implicit tag name is M::N.
This is the same problem with nested classes or even some rare
allowed definitions like explicitely defining a module/class from
the global namespace:
class ::A; end
Solution: We need to give an explicit tag name. To achieve this,
on module/class definition we truncate the name to the last found
column.
