+The idea is not to bother with restore operations if they don't change\r
+the set of tags. This is actually a relatively common case.\r
+\r
+In order to avoid fancy datastructures, this method is quadratic in\r
+the number of tags; at least on my mail database this doesn't seem to\r
+be a big problem.\r
