This seems not bad; but it still needs the $env trick: Try editing deep
in a tree like /Users/plalonde/dev/tuna/RT/contingency/... and you
quickly find yourself wasting most of the tag space, which multi-line
doesn't help: you still wind up with piles of tag you wish you could
put to better use.
A useful thing would be to expose the $env expansion switch on a verb,
maybe Expand or somesuch, for those times when you do need to see the
path.
I have a partial hack done for this, but now have to figure out how to
re-interpret and update all the tags; I have other work to do before
that.
