In the past it seemed like a nice idea to only create\nit when we have to, but it has way too many downsides and if you still\nhave a plausible reason not to want the tag objects, you're special\nenough to fallback to the lowlevel tools.\n\ncg-tag now always creates tag objects.\n\nThanks for the feedback,\n\n-- \n\t\t\t\tPetr \"Pasky\" Baudis\nStuff: http://pasky.or.cz/\nVI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which\nit doesn't.\n"}]}
