Okay, /n/sources/contrib/anothy/rc/bin/looktag is useful, i think.
It'll take a list of tags as arguments, look for them in a tags file
(-f file, or tags in the local dir by default), and plumbs the results
correctly. It's intended so that if you put it in the tag of an acme
window, 1-click at an identifier, and 2-1 chord looktag, it'll do the
right thing.

It'll handle multiple tags and multiple occurrences correctly. If
multiple tags are in one file, you only get the last one (I suppose
one could Zerox the window for each occurence if the file's already
open; have at it). I believe it'll work properly with p9p, but have
not tested it (later tonight).

As an aside, it might be nice of Acme provided the path or file name
the supplied argument in a 2-1 chord came from in the environment
somewhere. I imagine it'd be useful more generally, but here it'd
allow sticking (a modified) 'looktag' in a Guide file or similar and
using that for every window, rather than typing it in every window's
tag.

I spent a few minutes looking at doing a Limbo tagger and decided it
wasn't worth it for me, but I'd be interested if anyone decides to
give it a go.
