Loads a tag description from PATH.

code()

Returns the one-letter code for the tag. This will be a letter chosen from "E", "W", "I", or "P", based on the tag visibility, and other attributes (such as whether experimental is set). This code will never be "O" or "X"; overrides and experimental tags are handled separately.
