You mean to bind it to untag-pattern ~T, then the above?  ...or better,
warn about any ~Ts, and then do the above?

Clearly, working around side effects is not fun.  The whole "resolve
to next message after an action" thing is crap, IMHO, since the same
functionality can be achieved easily by combining actions in a macro.
Requiring macros to be used to _avoid_ side effects of what should be
simple commands is really bad style, IMHO.  It makes everything a lot
more complicated than it ought to be :-(

It's simple, Skyler.  You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
