I probably don't fully understand your instructions, but I did the following:
:!ctags %
I did not see an output file produced.
After invoking tlisttoggle a couple of times and pressing 'u' in
the taglist window, I did not see any changes - I.E. no tagging
yet.

Could the regexes for the function literals be added to my .ctags
file without clobbering the compiled-in regexes for the
function funcname(){} form?

many thanks
