I don't understand. Do you mean "tag with some string, so we can later
easily grep for it"? No real match operation, just a way to attach some
text to a rule?

If that's it, I vote to rename the thing "comment", and please permit
arbitrary quoted strings (with proper escaping for iptables-restore's
benefit).

best regards & thanks for your work
