Prefixes
A prefix can be anything of any length.
An example of what can be done with the new Tag Prefix Suffix Rules Table in the Scrub Tags tool of Job Spy (that I intend to supersede entirely the 'prefix' values in Library Code's options once the new JS functionality is released):
Example: Add a prefix of "Fiction" to any tag that does not already start with "Fiction" but has "Romance" or "Suspense" or "Science" or "Mystery" in it, or otherwise matches the rule's regular expression matching requirement.
I use tags with implicit hierarchical formatting like "Factual:History-War-WWII-Africa-North Africa-Libya" and "Fiction:Science-Space Opera" and "Fiction:Romance-Paranormal-Vampires".
I develop my plug-ins for myself as their first user, and I would never want any Tag that had "--"'s in the middle arbitrarily split into 2 or 3 pieces as has been suggested. Such splitting should be rule-based on an individual user basis. I might add that capability to Job Spy too.
