+Tag names are not case sensitive and can contain any ASCII characters.
+This means that tags `[tag with spaces]` and `[I said "good day"]`
+are both allowed tags and can be filtered on. However, escapes are not
+supported however and `[\]]` is not a valid tag.
+
+The same tag can be specified multiple times for a single test case,
+but only one of the instances of identical tags will be kept. Which one
+is kept is functionally random.
