It is used for code completion (assuming you're editing a file with a 
compatible filetype). It's used for everything tag-related, (e.g. 
calltips for C-like files), only at the moment the tag files don't 
store the filename. The format is very similar to Anjuta's global tags, 
and I guess they wanted to avoid saving the full filename for each tag. 
(Perhaps there could be an index of filenames instead, if anyone wants 
to work on it).
