[tw5] Re: System and shadow need some love

Post script, In line with the OT, I also though we could have a system-caption field that is searched Along with standard tiddlers, so system tiddlers would have the option of "publishing themselves" in the standard search. eg the tag manager, if you search for it in empty you will not find
