Hi @jkr78, thanks for the PR, and sorry it took me so long to have a look.

Seems like this would help make messages readable without preprocessing, which is helpful. Ultimately, I'd love to actually parse the tag, too. Looks easy enough.

But this is a good start for the moment, and the backwards compatibility is a plus.

There's an issue #15 for tag parsing, for the future.
