Hmph.  And an option --no-number to disable this is probably not
worth it, as it forces the existing scripts that wants the
tagname to be updated to pass that new option.  If the users
need to update their scripts anyway, they can sed/expr the
number out just as easily as passing the new option.

Another backward incompatibility to mention in the release
notes.  I guess it is not too big a deal but makes me feel
uneasy.
