Right, though I do not think that tags can inflict any cost. The
situation is same as with array bounds. You do keep bounds when the
array is statically constrained. Tag is just another constraint like
bounds. It must be handled just same way, removed when statically known.
No penalty, unless classes are actually used. I do not know why people
always bring dispatch into discussions about static cases.
