The patch is not something too horrible, something like 80LOCs, but not some 
trivial one-liner so better to post it separaterly. Basically it just simply 
goes through the tags and renames the anonymous ones the way we need but in 
addition, we also have to update scopes where these tags are involved.

Updating upstream ctags is an option too, I was just worried about "polluting" 
ctags with things which are too specific for Geany use.

And even if we kept the current few-line patch, it isn't a too terrible thing 
either.
