unless the file is of a type incompatible with tagline, if you have
those then you must remember which ones are using tagline and which
ones don't before doing a move.

it occurs to me that explicit tagging could work the same way as
tagline in that tla move/delete would not be needed, if the tag was
stored in an extended attribute.  unfortunatly this would not be
portable in the least.
