Well as I understand it the outstanding proposal (by tom) is to have arch-id:
only consider things within double-quotes as significant. That gives the
user freedom to choose a tag that has no `weird' characters (they could do
basically do that with arch-tag: too, except for the problem of the comment
end-delimiter in C).
I think it's _not_ proposed to have arch-id: ignore certain characters (it
can use a quoting convention for anything questionable), and that's probably
the right thing, since it allows any existing arch-tag: to be converted to an
arch-id: without the id changing.
So you can indeed later convert at your leisure, and as long as your slightly
careful with out how you create your arch-tag:s now (e.g., you put the C end
delimiter on the next line, and avoid using double quotes &c), you can avoid
an ugly arch-id: too.
