I've no idea, to be honest. Never done it before. I just use it for
C/C++ code at work, and it works wonders. Makes code *soooo* much easier
to find, esp. in a very large project with many developers. (Finding
code without tags in large projects is just so painful and slow that
nobody should have to suffer it.)
