Tags

A tag is a type of the form tag<T> for some arbitrary T. In the context of Boost.Flyweight, tags are syntactic artifacts used to differentiate instantiations of the class template flyweight which would otherwise be identical. Tagging a flyweight instantiation with a tag type local to a given context ensures that the global resources of that instantiation (for instance, the associated factory class) will not be unintentionally shared by other areas of the program.
