You normally don't need to worry about this, since the tagging
engine will compile the tag tables automatically for you.

Yes, we had to do this as a result of the restructuring of the
underlying code which no longer works on a char* pointer, but
instead uses the object type information to see whether it needs
to compile a Unicode tag table or a string one.
