Summary: etags and Translate\'d files

Initial Comment:
The way Translate works, function definitions in the 
translated files aren't picked up by the default etags 
settings.  This can be fixed by eliminating the spaces 
before (DEFPROP functionname T TRANSLATED) by 
hand, by modifying Translate to add a redundant 
unnested and therefore unindented defprop just before 
the eval-when, or by defining a regex-lisp pattern in 
etags.

For now, in my personal copy, I've just removed the 
leading spaces.

Fixing Translate would be better, of course, but I'm too 
lazy right now to figure out how.  (It batches its print's, 
so it can't just be patched where it outputs the defprop).

etags -regex-lisp... would work, though it's ugly (and 
would slow down the scanning of all Lisp files), but not 
all installations of etags support that.

Not a bug (agreed with Ray). Closing this report as "won't fix".

I don't consider this a bug in translate.  In in plain lisp
code, people write things like

(eval-when (stuff)
  (defconstant a 42))
