That is some sort of consolation. Glad to heat this, if you know what I

For the purpose of tags, whitespace should be extended (surely not a
complete list) to include '":;.,()[]{}!?
I know of no words that contain these characters. Sentences and phrases,
yes. Words, no. And tags refer to words, not sentences or phrases.
Since whitespace are the points at which items are split, and whitespace
is discarded:
here here;
would both evaluate to the tag:
here
I am guessing some of my whitespace list is already used for the purpose
of tags. Like the period and the comma. Or so it seems.

OK. So I guess the current behavior is integral to Trac's sanity and
functionality, and thus cannot be changed without destroying life as we
now know it. Too bad. A tag cloud would have been a nice thing.
