Sounds interesting :-)

Now, I am thinking of how this could be integrated into the base package.
I can't rip out the existing code (for various reasons; one being that
I cannot maintain complex code written by someone else), so this would
have to be a separate option in mxTextTools, e.g. stackless_tag() ;-)

Ideal would be if you could separate out the code into a set of
new files, e.g. mxste_*.h|c. We also have to discuss licensing...
but that we can do in private.
