I think that's a great term. It doesn't have the compiler connotations of "pragma", is shorter than "annotation" yet very concise and flexible. I like the sound of, e.g., "the apicall tag instructs the compiler to generate the code for some FFI call", "the preference tag allows discovery of preferences", the "type tag can be used to annotate variables". It really works for me.
In fact, I raise my hand and vote for renaming Pragma to MethodTag :-)
+1
Thanks Travis!
