user-defined tags are parsed, but there is no way for the user to access that data

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm new to YAML so i might be talking out of my ass.

{
  MyNode1: !node { prop1: badger, prop2: hamster },
  MyNode2: !node { prop1: narwhal, prop2: llama ),
  MyGroup1: !group {
    MyNode3: !node { prop1: gerbil, prop2: hamster },
    MyNode4: !node { prop1: ostrich, prop2: llama ),
  },
}

in my code i want to distinguish between different types of YAML::Node
before going in and looking at their content.
this information ("!group") is parsed into m_tag but there is no public
function that makes it accessible.

additionally, it seem that in the following case:

  MyGroup1: &group001 !group {
    MyNode3: !node { prop1: gerbil, prop2: hamster },
    MyNode4: !node { prop1: ostrich, prop2: llama ),
  },
  MyGroup2: *group001,

although the node at MyGroup1 carries the m_tag=="!group" the node at MyGroup2 
doesn't.
in my understanding they should point to the same node, or at least to 
identical data.

Sorry it took so long to get to this. You know how it is :)

Re your first post, that info *is* accessible in the subversion head, it just 
hasn't made its 
way to a numbered version.

Re your second, good call - I was hesitating about what to do here, but you're 
right, and 
I added a little patch to do what you said. The aliased node won't actually 
copy/store the 
tag of its anchor, but its GetTag() function will return the proper name.

By the way, that patch is r359.
