Merging is not the only scenario. Adding a tag could make secret
things become visible too. I'm not saying the approach isn't viable,
but if it gets implemented, it should be done with care to make sure
there's no easy mis-use that would lead to reveal a secret (typically,
I'd do that with a whitelist and not a black-list, so that new
references are secret by default).
