;;; Commentary:
;;
;; I.  The core production of semantic is the list of tags produced by the
;;    different parsers.  This file provides 3 APIs related to tag access:
;;
;;    1) Primitive Tag Access
;;       There is a set of common features to all tags.  These access
;;       functions can get these values.
;;    2) Standard Tag Access
;;       A Standard Tag should be produced by most traditional languages
;;       with standard styles common to typed object oriented languages.
;;       These functions can access these data elements from a tag.
;;    3) Generic Tag Access
;;       Access to tag structure in a more direct way.
;;         ** May not be forward compatible.
;;
;; II.  There is also an API for tag creation.  Use `semantic-tag' to create
;;     a new tag.
;;
;; III.  Tag Comparison.  Allows explicit or comparitive tests to see
;;      if two tags are the same.

;;; History:

;; Keep this only so long as we have obsolete fcns.

;;; Primitive Tag access system:
;;
;; Raw tags in semantic are lists of 5 elements:
;;
;;   (NAME CLASS ATTRIBUTES PROPERTIES OVERLAY)
;;
;; Where:
;;
;;   - NAME is a string that represents the tag name.
;;
;;   - CLASS is a symbol that represent the class of the tag (for
;;     example, usual classes are `type', `function', `variable',
;;     `include', `package', `code').
;;
;;   - ATTRIBUTES is a public list of attributes that describes
;;     language data represented by the tag (for example, a variable
;;     can have a `:constant-flag' attribute, a function an `:arguments'
;;     attribute, etc.).
;;
;;   - PROPERTIES is a private list of properties used internally.
;;
;;   - OVERLAY represent the location of data described by the tag.

A variable, or named storage for data.
@item include
