Code-wise, it is orthogonal. Behavior-wise, it is useful. I have some
files which look like:

    File 1:
        Tag: A
        Tag: B
    File 2:
        Tag: B
        Tag: A

Without this change, the application would see this:

    File 1:
        Tag: B
    File 2:
        Tag: A

where this:

    File 1:
        Tag: A;B
    File 2:
        Tag: B;A

would be more useful (this usually occurs with Performer tags). Using
semicolon has a precedent[1], but it can be changed pretty easily.
