I resisted adding a 'checktag' opcode, because it seemed to me that
doing that would make it easy for people to make complicated
nonsensical loop structures (overloading the animation system far
beyond 'run anim, which could go along branch A or branch B, and
possibly do a little variation here or loop for a time there, until it
ends.'* (completely incidentally, it gives better cache locality.).
However that might just be paranoia, I'll look at adding such an
opcode.
