It also allows the inheritance of tags. (from now on I am talking only about these mutually exclusive tags) When a tag is set in a parent, but also in a child, what I expect to happen is that the child is not included in searches/selections with the parent tag. In the example [0], a search for black (e.g. C-/ m black ) should not match poodle, because it is white. Now I realize that the mutually exclusive tag concept is probably only a convenience for adding tags with C-c. And it doesn't seem to have any other implications, but it would be nice to have. Do you think this is a possibility or that I could get this behaviour some other way? Thanks!

When a ta= g is set in a parent, but also in a child, what I expect to happen is that = the child is not included in searches/selections with the parent tag.
In the example [0], a search for black (e.g. C-/ m black <r= et>) should not match poodle, because it is white.
