tag-backwards() will let you "undo" find-tag().  In other words you
can switch back to the buffers where the calling functions are and put
the mouse at the places where you did find-tag().  This feature
simulates a backtrace available in a debugger.

;; ============================================
;; tagring.el - undo tag-find
;;
;; Auther: Jamie Tan, General Signal Corp./Drytek
;; <[e-mail]>
;;
;; USAGE:
;; After you have done 'find-tag', you can press M-' to switch back to the
;; buffers where the calling functions are and put the cursor at the
;; places where you did find-tag(). You can continue pressing M-' to
;; trace back to the first level of your calling routines.
