This is not really a bug but it can be confusing (and lead to loss of
 work) for programmers that use both Hugs and GHCi.  In Hugs, {{{:e
 filename}}} opens ''filename'' in an editor.  In GHCi 6.5 {{{:e
 filename}}} (short for {{{:etags filename}}}) creates an Emacs tags file,
 overwriting ''filename''.

 Some solutions:
   * Use a different command to create emacs tags
   * Make the command fail if the file already exists
