So I am. I did not intend to demean your work by calling it
superficial, but I will admit that I was surprised at what had been
implemented as a starting point. It makes perfect sense, though, if
you are not a regular LaTeX user.

That is very encouraging! I don't know why that previous thread does
not come up as a query in Google Groups; perhaps the particular
requests would have allowed me to focus my original question. Before
I give you examples, let me confirm the implementation that I see: for
each string \foo{bar}, where foo is chapter, section, subsection,
part, paragraph, or subparagraph (or the starred versions of these),
you create a tag named bar which runs the ex command to search for the
original \foo{bar}. Is that correct? Am I missing anything?
