Re: Proposed tags for cataloging

Tags that are not forseeably used by programs need not be such formal
tags.  Do you see some e.g. test suite script behaving differently
based on "version", "author", "subsystem", ...?  Might a user need to
filter scripts by whether or not they do "reporting on-exit"?

IMO, let's keep it absolutely simple and get on with actually
documenting/collecting all the samples.  keywords (which can be
grepped, and indexed in the catalogue), and a summary sentence may
well be enough.  The test system might like a

   test-invocation: stap script ARG1 ARG2

to trigger its automatic execution during "make installcheck".
