The issue with such possibilities is that they are not backward
compatible, past Info reader cannot render correctly the node name.

It could still be a better idea, especially for the middle term than a
new tag in the tag table, as what you propose would not lead any Info
reader to malfunction, there would only be a weird node name.  A new tag
could still be the best long-term solution, but it could only be used
years away from 2025.

Scanning the whole file, however, does not have any visible effect, save
time passed and electricity consumption.
