the tag ->> seems OK but I understand the objection raised by Stephan. A 
null character could be useful to resolve ambiguities.

For instance:

->>blah, blah

gives:
    >blah, blah ...
    blah, blzh.

but ->>NULLblah, blah,
gives:
    blah, blah ...
blah, blzh.

The NULL character is a terminator for all tags but is rendered by nothing.
In fact the problem is more general: Is the parsing stopped as soon as a 
tag is recognized or is the parsing is pursued till the longest tag is 
recognized ?

This typical parsing problem is a good reason to choice tags that are 
not the head part of another tag.
