Motivation:
Code completion engines for Vim can be configured to draw upon tag files to power their suggestions. However, some of the major engines (e.g. YouCompleteMe ) need the language field to be present in the tag files so that they can give appropriate completions for the type of file you are editing.
More generally speaking, I think that the more ripper-tags resembles ctags from an external interface POV, the better. The library should be plug-and-play replacement for the Ruby programmer.
What needs to be done:
In implementation terms, this simply means adding a column that reads language:Ruby to every line produced by ripper-tags.
Happy to send a PR if you're interested in supporting this option (though LMK if there are any gotchas I should watch out for!)
