This is an option. There's a lite version (free) and a pro version ($80 for lifetime updates). It's made by the same people that did the donations add on. (And for the record I did buy lifetime support on donations because it means I'm not constantly having to log into paypal and manually verify everything...)

I could see tagging being seen as a bit obnoxious for some, which means I'd lean towards the paid version, simply because it allows tagging to be disabled as an individual preference.

Still, I'm reluctant to spend too much on mods. What I can do is set up the lite version and see what people think.
