+This Python script is part of the easytags plug-in for the Vim text editor. The
+Python Interface to Vim is used to load this script which accelerates dynamic
+syntax highlighting by reimplementing tag file reading and :syntax command
+generation in Python with a focus on doing the least amount of work.
