I am using taglist() from lookupfile plugin and find that changing the
tags value for looking up files doesn't have an impact on the results.
While debugging I verified that the right value is getting set to 'tags'
setting, but still it returns results for the prior 'tags' value. I also
couldn't reproduce this in a standalone environment (like calling
taglist() from command-line), I apologize for wasting your time. I need
to spend some more time to isolate the problem.
