Tags are extra named data that get attached to existing objects.
For instance, mobiles might be tagged with a "cursedByGod" value,
or objects might be tagged with an "UnlockedByKeyNumber" value.

@new_tag_type will create a new type of tag for any applicable object
type.  The usage is "@new_tag_type <scope> <name> <type> [<getter>
[<setter>]]".  Getter and setter are function names, and if you supply
them then when that tag is gotten or set, those functions will be
called on the object in question.  This allows non-tag values to get
gotten or set as though they were tags.

Examples:
@new_tag_type object UnlockedByKeyNumber integer
@new_tag_type mob cursedByGod int is_cursed set_cursed
@new_tag_type obj KeyNumber integer

Currently type must be integer or float, but more types will be allowed
later on.  Tag names are permitted to have spaces, but there is currently
no way to specify that with this command.

Use the stat command to view an object's tag values.

Set_tag allows you to set the tag value of a given tagged object,
such as a room or mobile.  The usage is "@set_tag <name> <code>".
The name must be a valid tag name -- see @new_tag_type.  Code can
be any valid DGD code, but should evaluate to the type that you
wish to set the tag to.  For an integer tag, for instance, this
should be an integer.  For a tag of type mapping, it should be
a mapping.

Example:
@set_tag #374 KeyNumber 7
@set_tag $7 cursedByGod $7->getCurseLevel()

The object may be specified by either an object number or a history
value.  The history value must correspond to a tagged DGD object.

Tag names are permitted to have spaces, but there is currently no way
to manipulate any tag whose name has a space using this command.

Use the stat command to view an object's tag values.

The @list_tags command shows a list of all tag names with their
associated data types.  The usage is either "@list_tag object" or
"@list_tag mobile".

Tag settings for a specific object can be shown by using the stat
command on that object.
