Tip: #601 - Tags that jump to line and column

Tags allow us to jump to a particular line,

but I needed to get to the exact column also,

eg. when I have many tags on one long line.

This is not possible with the tag format, however

with Vim's regexp extensions, I am able to generate

and use such tags, eg:

> tail -1 ./tags

main mohsin.c /^\%89l\%12c/ ;" Goto line 89, column 12.
