Examples like that are precisely what inspired me to write my TagMechanic plugin.

I get why a few find it handy. It just seems to me that the number of users who would know enough Python to successfully use it, but not enough Python to create their own plugin to do the same thing, would be relatively small.

I was excited about the idea of a Python function Replace feature myself at first. But then my excitement waned when I couldn't find all that many practical uses for it.

I'm not opposed to the feature. I'm just not convinced it would be widely used.
