Howdy all,

This is my first time around with Elixir (and sqlalchemy), so forgive
me if my questions seem naive.  I'm working on a simple application
for which I want pretty much bog-standard tagging support.   My search
ultimately led me to Elixir's associable extension, which seems to
work, mostly.  Then I ran across 
http://elixir.ematia.de/trac/wiki/Recipes/TagCloud,
which says:

  However, [the associable extension] is not recommended because that
extension usually brings more problems than it solves and will soon be
deprecated.

Well, great.  Is this true (that associable may ultimately go away)?

So, I looked into association proxies, which look interesting, but
seem to suffer from a different problem: specifically, while tagging
with associable lets me apply tags to multiple classes, the examples
I've seen using association proxies only allow the tags to apply to a
specific class.  Is this true in general, or is this just the nature
of the examples?

I guess I'm looking for your recommendations regarding "best
practices" for implementing a tagging system on top of Elixir, when
one of the requirements is that the tags can be applied to different
classes (that do no share a common ancestor).

Thanks for your thoughts,

  -- Lars
