Amusement with tags

Hey guys.

I want a clientCmd to be able to take a tag from the server (thus lowering bandwidth usage) and then display it in a gui. I also want it to deal with cases when it's been sent a string rather than a tag. With the help of James Urquart, this is the best way I found to do it:

function unTag(%str)
{
   %tag = getTag(%str);
   
   // if they're equal, it's not a tag it's a string
   if (%tag $= %str)
      return %str;
   else
      return detag(getTaggedString(%tag));
}

Is this really the best way? Well, we found it amusing anyway.
