ShellSink adds inline tagging

Release 0.2.2 adds a new feature. You can add tags to a command at the same time as you execute it. This is achieved by using inline comments. Here is an example:
cat /proc/cpuinfo #sysadmin:diagnostic
That command will show up in your shellsink history with the tags sysadmin and diagnostic. This nifty idea was given to me by Jesse Hallett at my shellsink presentation at the open source bridge conference in portland this summer. Thanks Jesse.
