But to make things more interesting, I'm also switching from
representing tags as strings to representing them as Debtags::Tag
classes, from which it's possible to query name, short description, long
description and whatever is on the vocabulary.

The class Debtags::Tag (and Debtags::Facet) that I'm working on now are
reference counted and all the nice things, but they require some (easy)
refactoring of applications based on libdebtags.

That's the interface I would like to go with in the future.

Yes: that's my idea.  Implications are now only useful for this feature,
so I prefer to implement that in a specific way.  I don't intend to
remove the Implications code from libtagcoll, though, as I think it can
be neat and useful for other applications.

Ciao,
