ex falso: notify of missing tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I must tag from scratch quite a many tagless files I must tag, and for
consistency, I'd like none of them to have some tag missing. I'd consider
the essential tags to be: TITLE, ARTIST, ALBUM, TRACKNUMBER, DATE, GENRE,
REPLAYGAIN_*

Currently Ex falso doesn't even wink if a tag is missing. My proposition is:

- let the user configure a couple of tags all music files must have

- display the missing tags in the tag editor window as a "warning"
  - I'd suggest implementing it as a list of missing tags in small, red
text at the bottom of the window.

This should implemented as a plugin. I would suggest a simple implementation 
similar
to the following. It won't turn things red, though.

  def plugin_songs(self, songs):
    for song in songs:
      for tag in ["title", "artist", ...]:
        song.setdefault(tag, "(missing)")

Is such a plugin available these days? 

(IMO it should be a core-feature anyway. It would make tagging "sooo much" 
easier ;) )
