Not a problem at all, since RCS-like tag can have only two formats:
$Arch$ and $Arch: 53bb84c6-dee0-46c6-a275-2db144993d89$, which very
probably no Perl program already has.  To find this tag, arch should
look only for the following regexp /\$Arch[\$:]/.

However, the current "arch-tag:" without delimiters can have more
occurrences beside the intended for arch, and so arch may find the
wrong one.
