And as we all know, as soon as you've put those two words in capitals, you can no longer argue with any solution proposed. Longer term you'd probably want to move away from regexps for =tagging-method and into filespecs or something. That make subsequant commits easy to fixup without having to learn the baroque tagging-method regexps GNU Arch has.
