Yeah, looks interesting but let's find the wrinkles. I was wondering if
it might have relevance to what I wanted to do with enumeration types,
i.e. we would tag each one with its particular enumeration id.
I also don't like the idea of it being done with user tables - if this
is core material then the tags should go in the catalog, ISTM.
