OK. But isn't it possible to at least emulate
tm_source_file_buffer_update() by i.e. writing given buffer to a
temporary file and updating current document's tags with newly parsed
ones?
'Cause I think it is a little ill to force saving of the file only for
updating tags. I know my proposal wouldn't have gains of memory
parsing (no need to write/read file) but it should work as a temporary
workaround, if I miss nothing. What do you think?

But yes, by saving the document it works well regardless my above words.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.
