Under those circumstances, probably yes; there's no obvious advantage in
pretending you have multiple matching functions if you don't.

That's probably right. I imagine what confused me is exactly the change we
are discussing above, i.e. I only added one _matcher, which contains the
spec in question which is therefore applied immediately, whereas before it
happened later because it was in the second element of $compmatchers.
So I can easily fix it using styles.

Empty tags are certainly easier than they were before, so I would be in
favour of changing not to use tags unless they actually discriminate
between different cases ---- depending really on logic, i.e. we have less
need of inventing otherwise unused tags.
