Hi Guix,

What about adding an optional "tags" field to the package record?

Tags would be arbitrary (e.g. "editor", "video", "music", etc.) and
useful for package exploration, both from commandline and guix.el I
suppose.

I think it's pretty much all that's missing to completely supersede
reference pages like
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications.

Since it's optional, it would be backward compatible with the current
package declarations.

Insights?
