Your outburst is totally unjustified, and his RTFM is justified. The
$Tag object *is* documented, rather extensively in fact -- a call
example is given for almost every standard IC tag.
The other ones you mention are documented as well.
So I don't know what you are reading, but you aren't reading it
very thoroughly. Perhaps downloading the docs and using grep on
the files will help you.
