The more such special cases we have (we have one already, which is
arguably one too many) the harder and harder it gets to write 
`changeset-utils'.

Yet we have pretty good evidence that a changeset-utils package will
be desirable:  composition, factoring, editting, variations on
variance adjustment including commutativity operations......

I don't see why hairing up the tagging stuff would outweigh those
things.
