-    Make lists of tags that are mutually exclusive.  So when I turn on

-    defining these groups in the #+TAGS line would be:
-    : #+TAGS: [@WORK(w) @HOME(h) @CLUB(c)] Laptop(l) PC(p) Car(r)
-    This could indicate that @WORK, @HOME, @CLUB are mutually exclusive.
-
-    If I do this, I will also need a syntax for the global alist to
-    indicate the same thing.
-
-    It seems to me that with such grouping of tags, sorting would be
-    useful as it would improve the overview over the current tags.  I
-    might even be able to support mutually exclusive tags with
-    fontification in the interface.  Or arrange things such that the
-    mutually exclusive ones are all in the same row or column, to
-    optimize the visual feedback.
-
-    For the internal format, I think best would be something like
-
-    : '( (:startgroup) ("@work") ("@home") ("@club") (:endgroup)

-    ARCHIVED: <2007-07-02 Mon>
