Very cool; please, could you put it in sources/contrib? 

See: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/How_to_contribute/

(I think patch/saved overlaps too much with sources/contrib but either
should be OK)

This might be confusing because IMHO the main purpose for a multi line
tag is to accommodate longer paths and I don't see much use for explicit
new lines, also opens it to abuse as scratch space for big chunks of
stuff where a guide file should be used instead.

BTW, anyone knows if there is a way to snarf the path from a tag without
making the window 'dirty'? The usual mouse chording idiom that works for
the body seems to fail in the tag, and not even Undo helps after that.
