/*
* Keys are the internal representation of tags, and use a limited range of
* characters, basically the characters allowed in imap keywords, which are
* alphanumeric characters, but don't include spaces. Keys are stored on
* the imap server, in local mail messages, and in summary files.
*
* Tags are the user visible representation of keys, and are full unicode
* strings. Tags should allow any unicode character.
*
* This service will do the mapping between keys and tags. When a tag
* is added, we'll need to "compute" the corresponding key to use. This
* will probably entail replacing illegal ascii characters (' ', '/', etc)
* with '_' and then converting to imap mod utf7. We'll then need to make
* sure that no other keyword has the same value since that algorithm
* doesn't guarantee a unique mapping.
*
* Tags are sorted internally by 'importance' by their ordinal strings (which by
* default are equal to a tag's key and thus only stored if different).
* The alphanumerically 'smallest' string is called the 'most important' one and
* comes first in any sorted array. The remainder follows in ascending order.
