Do these need to be real tags?  Would it be sufficient for them to just
be aliases for search patterns?  I think I would prefer the latter
because I could modify the pattern and not have to rewrite tags to the
whole database.  Maybe real tags are needed to optimize expensive
patterns, but I wouldn't think the user needs to know about that.
