This approach seems to pretty reasonable. As somebody who's been thinking about this, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on: https://public-inbox.org/git/20190906065606.GC5122@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ which _in theory_ means tag->tagged would never be NULL (we'd catch it at the parsing stage and consider that an error). But we'd still potentially want to protect ourselves as you do here for code paths which don't necessarily check the parse result. -Peff
