Public bug reported:

Concept is a plugin which executes whenever a task is created or its
title edited, looks for certain keywords/regexes, and if matched adds a
tag.

The plugin would have a GUI mechanism for editing the table of regular
expression -> tag mappings.

When the plugin is initially enabled, it should provide the user a
choice whether to process and tag all the user's existing tasks, or only
do new ones.

A few use cases for such a feature:

  * For all tasks with a bug report ID in the title, tag with "@bugs" so
it's easy to see your bugs

  * I have a project Foobar, so when adding a task like "Add baz feature
to foobar", automatically file it with my other @foobar tasks

  * I frequently task myself to read something across all my various
projects; I want to automatically gather these under a @to_read tag so
it's easy to select from them when I'm on the train and just want to
catch up on my reading.
