Add ability to relate tags with tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Then we could have tag "apple" that relates to "fruits", 
"computer_manufacturers" and "eatable". 
Very nice way for greating "see also"-type functionality.

It would be great if this would be possible out of the box.

Hang on, is this what you're asking for? It should already work:

apple = Tag.objects.get(name='apple')
Tag.objects.update_tags(apple, 'fruits computer_manufacturers eatable')

I'm thinking a relation between tags, not tagged objects.

Something like:

apple = Tag.objects.get(name='apple')
apple.relate_with_tags('fruits computer_manufacturers eatable')

eatable = Tag.objects.get(name='eatable')
eatable.get_related_tags()
[<apple>, <spam>, <eggs>]

I'm using this kind of functionality (simple m2m relations) in some of my 
homegrown tagged apps and I like it 
a lot. The usefulness of tagging grows enourmosly when users can build 
relations themselves. Would be nice 
to see something like this in django-tagging, too.

This could also be very handy for dealing with synonyms, spelling variations, 
and so forth without needing a lot 
of moderation or admin overhead (let the users self-moderate by defining 
relationships).

This functionality would be really useful for me to. Has anyone come up with a 
work-around yet?
