@ -1252,13 +1252,66 @@ module default_tag(tag,do_tag=true)
// Creates a tag scope with locally altered tag names to avoid tag name conflict with other code.
// This is necessary when writing modules because the module's caller might happen to use the same tags.
// Note that if you directly set the `$tag` variable then tag scoping will not work correctly.
// Usually you will want to use tag_scope in the first child of {{attachable()}} to isolate the geometry
// of your attachable object. If you put it **outside** the {{attachable()}} call, then it will
// set a scope that also applies to the children passed to your attachable object.
// Side Effects:
// `$tag_prefix` is set to the value of `scope=` if given, otherwise is set to a random string.
// Example: In this example the ring module uses "remove" tags which will conflict with use of the same tags by the parent.
// module ring(r,h,w=1,anchor,spin,orient)
// Example(3D,NoAxes): In this example, tag_scope() is required for things to work correctly.
// module myring(){
// attachable(anchor=CENTER, spin=0, d=60, l=60) {
// tag_scope()
// diff()
// cyl(d=60, l=60){
// tag("remove")
// color_this("lightblue")
// cyl(d=30, l=61);
// }
// children();
// }
// }
// diff()
// myring()
// color_this("green") cyl(d=20, l=61)
// tag("remove") color_this("yellow") cyl(d=10, l=65);
// Example(3D,NoAxes): Without tag_scope() we get this result
// module myring(){
// attachable(anchor=CENTER, spin=0, d=60, l=60) {
// diff()
// cyl(d=60, l=60){
// tag("remove")
// color_this("lightblue")
// cyl(d=30, l=61);
// }
// children();
// }
// }
// diff()
// myring()
// color_this("green") cyl(d=20, l=61)
// tag("remove") color_this("yellow") cyl(d=10, l=65);
// Example(3D,NoAxes): If the tag_scope() is outside the attachable() call then something different goes wrong:
// module myring(){
// tag_scope()
// attachable(anchor=CENTER, spin=0, d=60, l=60) {
// diff()
// cyl(d=60, l=60){
// tag("remove")
// color_this("lightblue")
// cyl(d=30, l=61);
// }
// children();
// }
// }
// diff()
// myring()
// color_this("green") cyl(d=20, l=61)
// tag("remove") color_this("yellow") cyl(d=10, l=65);
// Example: In this example the myring module uses "remove" tags which will conflict with use of the same tags elsewhere in a diff() operation, even without a parent-child relationship. Without the tag_scope() the result is a solid cylinder.
// module myring(r,h,w=1,anchor,spin,orient)
// {
// tag_scope("ringscope")
// attachable(anchor,spin,orient,r=r,h=h){

// tag("remove") cyl(r=r-w,h=h+1);
